Hi folks, For those of you heading to Duluth this weekend for the "Owls on the Move" northern owl symposium, I have re-posted information from Ryan Brady about the Snowy Owls in Ashland, Wisconsin. Ryan Brady has been watching & photographing the Snowy Owls in Ashland all winter (and there have been a LOT). Ashland is 90 miles east of Duluth. More information is below.
See you at the symposium! Debbie p.s. Ryan's website is chock full of bird photos, including gyrs, snowies, and shrikes in the Ashland area. __________________________________ Debbie Waters, Education Director Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory P.O.
