putting up some pictures from yesterday's survey. You can see them at
http://www.elijahparker.com/saxzim/ . I have yet to put January's there,
but you can find December's by clicking on the link on the

I did 2 routes in Itasca County this weekend and saw no owls. They have
been pretty scarce in this area lately.

Today I found 48 GREAT GRAY OWLS and 5 NORTHERN HAWK OWLS and thought I

Strong winds and too much sun seems to have kept them out of sight most
of the day. The

Greetings all,
Today we saw at least 33 roadside GGOs in approximately three hours of owl
hunting near our cabin, from noon until about 3:00pm. We looked in
Danforth, Ogema, Wilma and Arna townships. We actually

distant oak east of the field sandwiched between 55 to the south and 42 to

Turned my Owl route in Schroeder into a full day of birding; although
it turned out to be pretty boring. The highlight was a total of 7
LONG-TAILED DUCKS. There were two of them just north of Artist's Point
in Grand Marais in Two Harbors, then another NE of 5 Mile Rock, north

I did an early morning route in eastern Aitkin County, from Tamarack to
McGregor, a few miles south and then back to my house, slightly over 40
miles. I saw 19 Great Gray Owls, some of which were seen on the road north
of Tamarack to my house on the way south, but not when I traveled back
north.

Steve Novatney. Al Nelsoon, and I did our Northern Pine County Owl survey on
Saturday. 2/5. We were shocked to find that few Owls were there for us to see
anymore. We saw a single Northern Ha
As the season progresses, the Great Gray Owls seem to be sliding into a
pattern in which they actively hunt in the low light hours of early morning and
late afternoon. Surveys have shown that an area seemingly devoid of owls at
midday can actually contain surprising numbers of individuals, when
I am planning on a trip up there (from Rochester) from Wednesday thru Friday
for GGO's. Based on the reduction in sightings, is this irruption drawing to
an end and they are heading back up north? Would this trip maybe a waste of
time? Interested in anyone's thoughts and opinions.

As with others' observations this weekend, we also noted a reduction in
owls. We had five Great Grays and a single Northern Hawk Owl from 3:30 to
5:30 yesterday (Saturday) afternoon in Aitkin County, covering 169, 18, 5,
3, 10 and 210. Most were on 210.
Good birding to all!
