Sorry for the late post, but I typically don't do any ema Hey birders, Sorry for the late post, but I typically don't do any email on weekends.
Friday evening around 4:45pm my family and I found two Snowy Owls about a mile north of Mapleton in Blue Earth County. One bird was located on CR164 about 0.5 miles east of Hwy 22 and the other was along 586th Avenue south of CR164. Saturday evening I returned to that area and found several friends searching for the birds. I relocated a bird at 5:25pm along CR164 east of 586th Avenue but found out that the other cars struck out. The bird flew to the south in the near-dark. Sunday night I heard there were 4 cars out there again and as far as I know, no one found an owl. One person did report to me that he was stopped by a County Sheriff who was following up on some suspicious behavior in the area. Hmmmm...two nights in a row with 4 cars driving laps in the middle of nowhere...that's not suspicious, is it? I guess it just goes to show that you don't have to go the the airport in Minneapolis to be suspicious. Happy birding!
