I just received a call from my dad, who had dinner tonight with a buddy of his who knows the woods well. Apparently in early February they had a snowy owl present in the woods behind their house every day for several days in a row. It hasn't been seen for at least a week. They live in Thompson Township east of Carlton (take Hwy 210 east over the St Louis River - it's between there and the entrance to Jay Cooke State Park). I'm not sure if the owl is long gone or still in the area but just thought a few people might want to hear about it if it hasn't been reported already.
I'm bummed that it's not still in their yard as I'm making a birding trip up north tomorrow and would love to see a Snowy Owl!! Jenn Reed __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - You care about security. So do we. http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
