Yesterday afternoon I found a Snowy Owl in the area where Jim Lind had reported on 11/25. Thank you, Jim!
A local who lives by where the owl was hanging out stopped to talk to me. He asked me if I had seen "the other one." He said there are often two of them and that they showed up four days ago. Before I arrived in the Silver Bay area, I drove around McGregor and the Sax Zim bog. I did not see any other owls. (But I was driving, and it's impossible to concentrate on driving and watch both sides of the road at the same time.) Tammy Wolfe Lake Elmo
