Joking aside (for the moment), I assume someone will be on the lookout for a large white bird in Glen Burnie this afternoon? Directly adjacent to the airport seems like a good place to see a Snowy, although I'm sure scoping BWI is not too popular these days.
I would come up from Annapolis, but I figured there would be some folks closer to that area. It's probably just a large white Rock Pigeon anyway . . . .
