After Sean Peterson and I extensively searched the vicinity we found an additional 6 owls for a total of 13 Snowies, which I believe is a new high count for the state. The owls all appear to be sleeping or at least sedentary so we were able to verify that we didn't double count any individuals. All of the owls are located in a roughly 5 square-mile area west of CR 3, south of 670th St., east of 110th Ave. (two owls barely west of here), and north of CR 4. Both adults and young birds present.
