Based on conversations we have had with our friends and neighbors, we worry
that any interaction with this individual (be it with birders or law
enforcement) will potentially have a negative impact on owls and other
conspicuous birds and wildlife in the area. My advice, for the sake of the
I agree with tom and peter-I've practiced in Minn for 40 years and also
don't practice in criminal law but the antics of this guy and his forcing a
stop with his auto seem to rise to the level of some kind of criminal
conduct AND this is exactly the kind of guy who slips thru the cracks and
tom has nailed the law ... my prior post was written before I read tom's
message below.

Since my last post
The Owl was not visible this morning. For those photographers who could not get
a picture of the owl with both eyes open, I believe I have the answer, its
right eye was injured. In the late afternoon I notice that as it started to
hunt, it even made a pass at a mouse(it missed) and looked up at
At 8:00 am I checked our video camera and the owl was
not in the box.
Yesterday it was sitting at the entry hole much of
the afternoon. I did not notice any new pellets
in the box. Perhaps hunting is difficult with the
thaw and freeze weather.
I won't post again until I see the owl.

Thank you very much for letting us all see the bird. Mary

Red Crossbill, Common Redpolls, Bohemian Waxwing at Ann Lakes/Sand Dunes
this morning.
Also enjoyed Rough-legged Hawk Northern Shrike.
The Sand Dunes area is located just south of Sherburne Refuge, take CR 5
south almost to the second CR 4 (west) exit, but turn left/east rather than
right.
Why couldn't some kind of a string operation be setup with law
enforcement? Have undercover cops pretend to be birdwatching by this
idiots house? Just a thought

posted an address or nearby intersection so we can mark it on our maps of

Ladies and Gentlemen, I believe a little perspective is in order.
The issue appears to be whether you wish to roll the dice with the
lives of birds or the lives of human beings.
This guy apparently has a history as a menace and sooner or later
someone will be hurt or worse.

What about some person with Kim Eckert's book who is new to birding or from
out of state and does not get either of the birding bulletin boards for
Minnesota? Nobody whether local or out of state should have to worry about
their safety while driving down a public road or stopping along

Hello:
I read a lot of posts on this topic and some asked about some history of this
individual. I think I can add some history but I will respond to Shawn
Zierman's post first. I think it was sometime way before the 2004-05 owl
irruption that I posted the photo of the man's shed with his
16 matches
