Looking Back 3I8372
When people choose to ignore the guidelines and regulations all of us pay. When a visitor to the park decided to fly his drone in a national wildlife refuge, despite adequate signs prohibiting the practice, all the snowy owls took to the air and left the area. Most never returned. The visitor disturbed the owls and sent them flying off in fear, but he also disturbed those of us who had come to the refuge to see the snowy owls. Likewise, today a number of refuge visitors walked through restricted areas as if they didn't exist. As a result, the few snowy owls remaining were chased into remote areas, far from visitor's eyes. They remained there well after dark. The owl in this photo flies off over the inlet, looking back at a drone that it can see and hear. #SnowyOwl
