On Sunday, Jan. 8th, my wife saw an adult male snowy owl in Renville county, just south of the Kandiyohi county line. As a reference point, go to the EXTREME SE corner of Kandiyohi county- where Kandiyohi county #2 goes south into Renville county and becomes Renville #16. Going south, the bird was seen just after the "S curve" sitting on top of a utility pole.
I spent several hours on Sunday looking (unsuccessfully) for snowies and she was just on her way home when she says "it found me" when it flew up to the pole about dusk...figures:-) Randy Frederickson Willmar
