The owl reported in my earlier post (also below) is a Northern Saw-Whet Owl--easily visible from the street.
Dave Benson Duluth A friend just called (11:30 on Friday 1/7) with a report of a small owl in her yard. As we spoke, she could only see the back of the owl, but presumes it is a Boreal Owl. She had one in her yard a year or two ago. The yard is two doors west of Chester Bowl on Skyline Parkway on the lower side of Skyline. The bird is in the lilacs in the side yard on the East side of the house. All of the appropriate cover can be seen from the front yard. Birders are welcome to come and look, but there is no need to walk down into the side yard or in the back yard. Exercise caution in parking along Skyline, as there is a blind curve to the east of this location.
