[mou-net] Long-eared Owl, Big Stone NWR (hiking trail)
There are at least 2 Long-eared Owls wintering in Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge right now. I spotted them this morning, from what's called the Granite Outcrop hiking trail. Drive in on the auto tour, around the big rock with the face, and park by the outhouses. Then hike east, following the Minnesota River. They are in the woods on the south bank of the river, below the outcrops. That puts them in Lac qui Parle County, if you're into listing. This is the 5th winter in a row when I've either seen them in these bottomlands or spoken with someone else who has. I'm going to try for a picture. Unfortunately, I was shooting lichens this morning and only had a wide angle lens. Usually, the Auto Tour is inaccessible this time of year. It isn't plowed for the winter, so our first significant snowfall usually means the end of access till Spring. So this is a great opportunity to get in there and see them, if anyone is in need of a LQP Long-ear. The long-term forecast doesn't show much chance of accumulating snow any time in the next 10 days. Otherwise, there is nothing too unusual from the area to report. We did have a fun CBC on December 16, logging nearly 10,000 Canada Geese and around 3,000 Mallards wintering in the Ortonville/Odessa area right now. They are keeping the ice off of certain lakes with their body heat. Our count is probably a conservative one, as our CBC day was very, very foggy and lots of birds were grounded.

I saw on EBird that there was a Long Eared Owl found on a nest at the Richard Anderson conservation area in Hennepin county. Can anyone tell me approximately where in the area it is? It’s a big area and I looked for awhile this evening but couldn’t find it. I’d love to see it as it would be a lifer for me. Thanks!

[mou-net] Long-eared Owl, Hennepin Co. update
It appears that the Long-eared Owl from yesterday has migrated north. It left its perch in the early evening just after sunset. I could see it waking up and getting restless just before sundown. I am one who loves to share all of my sightings with others but since I live in a town home complex and since the bird could not be seen from the street (it was right in the middle of the courtyard) I made the tough choice to not post the location. I was busy with my family last night so I could not have facilitated the guest visitors, otherwise I would have invited more people over. I will try to share subsequent sightings as best I can in the future. Thank you for all of the encouraging comments on my original post!

Re: [mou-net] Long-eared Owl, Hennepin County
So true, and well-said, Jason; it's also worth noting that introducing the very young to this pursuit, even tagentially, requires patient, persistent faith, but is well worth the effort. It may happily surprise you well into the future with positive results you never imagined.

[mou-net] Long-eared Owl, Hennepin County
Hello Birders, Today I heard a pair of crows exhibiting mobbing behavior in a grove of pines my front yard in South Minneapolis. I had recently found them mobbing a Red-tailed Hawk and Cooper's Hawk in the area so I went out and expected the expected, only to find the unexpected. This turned out to be the best overall view I had of the Long-eared Owl because I was very close and the bird was heavily distracted by the aggressive corvids who made contact with the owl a few times and got a bill jab in return! I was able to call over some of my birding friends who got to see the bird in the pines. It was hugging the trunk of a tree and in dense cover so the photos and views where obscured but the bird surprised us all when it flew directly towards my kitchen window and pulled up and landed in a large crabapple. It was now on an exposed perch which allowed photographs and was able to somehow fool the crows that went back into the original position in the pines. The Long-eared Owl did its signature "look like a pencil" pose to escape detection. I was happy to share my sighting with the local birders and with some of my neighbors but because I live in a town home complex I couldn't have too many people over at a time (most of my neighbors would not care but there are a few...…) This was another example of how the birding hobby is full of surprises and I am constantly getting re-invigorated. It is also another example in my experience of how the most rewarding sightings seem to come when you least expect it (isn't that what they also say about finding love?) Many of my very best sightings were not when I was concentrating and scanning every tree in an area but when I stumbled upon the birds. I had a Yellow-throated Warbler four blocks from my house while I was pushing my kids to the park in a double stroller. I had to put the break on to quickly check a group of warblers that were feeding on my neighbor's doorstep, literally! Another time I found a Black-legged Kittiwake in Duluth when I was about to get back into my car after scanning the lake. The gull just caught the corner of my eye as I faced away from the lake- I was this close to entirely missing that bird. Then last summer I noticed some reddish finches eating gravel on the side of the road in Kidder County, ND and I told my mom I was going to turn around because I hadn't yet seen House Finches in the county yet. The reddish finches turned out to be a flock of Red Crossbills, in the middle of the Great Plains, in July! My point is that you aren't going to find a Lynx of a Black Bear in your yard in South Minneapolis, and you're not going to find a rare species of Noctuid moth because you just wouldn't know what the hell you are looking at, but you can find a Long-eared Owl in your yard in a big city because that's how birds are. They are unpredictable creatures that can fly and are readily identifiable and that's what makes this hobby so amazing. If you are new to the hobby and feeling frustrated give it time and if you are an old hand in the hobby you know that the next great surprise could be just around the corner. or on the other side of that tree trunk!

[mou-net] Long-Eared Owl - Mound Spring SNA - Yellow Med
(Posted by Jason Frank via moumn.org) This afternoon around 3:45 PM, there was a Long-Eared Owl in a woody copse on the edge of Mound Spring Prairie SNA in western Yellow Medicine County. Needless to say, a pleasant surprise in this neck of the "woods!" The area is a hilly prairie environment, but there are some thick groves, river bottoms, and a couple of rodent-infested farmsteads just a stone's throw (or, maybe, a pellet's heave) away.

[mou-net] Long-eared Owl (Hennepin Co.)
Before you read this, please note that I am NOT sharing an exact roosting location. This is to protect the owl. This post is intended for people who would like to try looking for Long-eared Owls but don't know of good places to search. While looking for owls with Craig Mandel at Crow-Hassan Park Reserve this morning, he found a Long-eared Owl in an Eastern Red Cedar. I was able to get a brief look at it as well. Crow-Hassan Park Reserve is located near Rogers in the northwest region of Hennepin County. Even though we spent three hours looking in hundreds of red cedars, there was still much ground yet to cover. It's a big park with many owl roost-worthy red cedars. Other birds included Northern Shrike (2), Northern Flicker (1), and many Trumpeter Swans. Good birding! Alyssa DeRubeis Golden Valley, Hennepin Co.

Hey All - I found a Long-eared Owl at Springbrook Nature Center in Fridley. Behind the visitor's center. There is a shed with an overhang and go under the overhang and past the big trees with the bird house (on one of them). Veer a bit left. I stuck a pencil in the ground and that is where I stood to view the bird. If was high in a tree just right of the biggest tree that is about 6 feet from the pencil. Hope that helps. Not sure if it will still be there later in the day tomorrow as Springbrook will be having a spring celebration with tons of people roaming the grounds. I will try to upload a picture.

[mou-net] Long Eared Owl
Not a good report since it was hit by a car at the intersection of Hwy 27 and Hwy 238 just West of Little Falls. I have found Lond-eared Owls a few miles South of there on hwy 238 and it may be from that group. It must have been very hungry to be hunting that late since I usually find them when it is a little darker out. I ran out to try to save it but it died soon after impact (someone else's car). At first I thought it was a Short-eared by the flight and I got excited because I do not have that species for Morrison. I have 4 different areas I have found Long-eared owls in the county so they are not on my radar. Our school is getting plenty specimens this year with two Boreal, 1 Long-Eared, a few Barred and a Snowy. Milt Blomberg has trouble keeping up with registering them with the D.N.R so we can use them for education purposes. I don't like seeing this many owl deaths for such a small area. The long winter (Is winter a season or a condition?) and heavy snow has really stressed these birds.

Re: [mou-net] Long Eared Owl Brooklyn Center
We had a similar discussion on wisbirdn a couple of months ago. If you read the eBird guidelines more carefully you'll notice that it says that long-eared owl is an example of a species that could be considered a sensitive species and goes on to explain that they would be considered sensitive in the eastern US due to habitat shortages. It also states that what species are considered sensitive changes regionally. It is my opinion that the eBird article does a good job explaining how to report sensitive species, but is not a good reference to try to define a species as sensitive. Perhaps the MN DNR website has more relevant information on the status of birds in MN?

Re: [mou-net] Long Eared Owl Brooklyn Center
The people who added that data to eBird probably don't want you to know where that bird is specifically. Please read the following if you are in confusion about this policy: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/news/sensitive_species. You could always go out and find one on your own, that's what other people do. Scott B. Meyer Hennepin County On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 11:52 AM, Brian wrote: > On ebird.

Re: [mou-net] Long Eared Owl Brooklyn Center
You should be a little more specific about which Long-eared Owl in Brooklyn Center you are talking about. Was there one posted on MOU-NET? Scott B.

[mou-net] Long-eared Owl in downtown Duluth
My recent post prompted a message from Tanya Beyer, regarding a Long- eared Owl she saw in downtown Duluth today (10/24/2011): "This owl crossed my path just after I had headed up from the lakewalk at about 8:30 a.m. Monday. I had reached the plaza above Michigan Street and was just past the monument with all the stacked hands, titled 'The Arising.' The owl, which I guessed to be a great horned at first, plunged into one of three or four spruces in the planting behind the monument. So I crept around the wall of the planting and was soon able to see the grey bulk and the perky tall horns above the eyes. The owl stayed, turning frequently to look away, then to look back and make sure the observer was no more of a threat than before. This is my second long-eared. In 1977, at the age of 17, I was so lucky as to scare one up in the pasture behind my childhood home at the edge of the Indianapolis metro area. We had a lot of thickets and pines in the overgrown farmland that surrounded us there, and in the two months that that owl stayed around, floating from one pine grove to another, it seemed the whole birding community of Indpls. got out there to view our visitor--including a whole inner city high-school natural history club."

[mou-net] Long eared owl
Hi everyone,Yesterday, while visiting my BBA block T61R8a (just south of Isabella Lake in Lake County) my husband and I had a long-eared owl fly across the road in front of us. My husband (not a birder) actually noted the odd flight of the bird. It flew into a tree over the road and I was able to get a good look at it.Molly ThompsonDuluth _ The New Busy is not the old busy.

[mou-net] Long-eared Owl in Wilkin County
I stopped at the grove at the north end of Manston Marsh in Wilkin County at about noon today. There a couple of teenagers were nice enough to drag their deer hunting stand through a cedar thicket and flush out a long-eared owl for me. It was a county bird for me. There wasn't much else for birds in the area - a fair number of robins, a few Harris' and white-throated sparrows, one Merlin, and three northern harriers.
