Yesterday evening while working in the tower at BWI I noticed a bird fly 
by the tower at an altitude of about 300 feet. The bird was illuminated 
by the lights around the terminal. A look through the binoculars 
revealed the bird to be a Barn Owl. Having not seen any in the area all 
winter (although there are plenty of pines to provide habitat on the 
airport) I assume that this is a migrant. The bird was from the 
southeast to the northwest.
