By reading all the reports, one could surmise snowy owls can be found throughout the state but there is a significant line of east west demarcation. Eight of the best birders in Kandiyohi county have logged in at least 34 hours of owling the past 6 days, concentrating on cloudy, windless days

Good morning to all, I talked to the person that saw the Snowy Owl in Fillmore county, and it was last week when he saw it. When he has seen it has been at a very close range. One of the times the bird was on the shoulder of the road as he drove by (it does not sound like it flew that time).
