A snowy owl that somehow got into the O'Neill Tunnel fared little better than Larry the Turkey: Mass. Environmental Police report the bird was scooped up near the Government Center exit yesterday and rushed to the Tufts wildlife clinic in Grafton for treatment. The Globe reports the bird died.

I don't want to sound like I'm victim-blaming, but what the hell is a snowy owl doing out on a 70 degree day?

Where do you expect them to be? They've got to get out and eat rodents, too. You do realize they live here, right?
Probably cooler in the tunnel

I didn't drive yesterday, but I assume that the tunnel didn't heat up and was thus an attractive refuge.

JFC. I have a perpetual monthly donation to the Sierra Club, which is an odd thing for someone who doesn't "actually give a damn about other species".
