I was out conducting a few dancing ground surveys and checking up on a few radio-collared sharp-tailed grouse in the Aitkin County Road 18 and 5 corridor. At one dancing ground I counted 16 SHARP-TAILED GROUSE. I saw 2 SHORT-EARED OWLS owls about 2 miles west of Pietz's Road on the southside of CR 18, but did not see any owls at the CR 18 & CR 5 intersection. SAVANNAH SPARROWS singing at multiple locations along CR 18. Saw 2 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS; one on CR 5 about a 2 miles south of CR 18, and one on CR 18 near Hwy 169. Overall fairly quiet out.
