The only things we've seen in that vicinity are red-tailed hawks and pigeons. We have never seen nor heard about a snowy owl in Roseville. There is the pair of nesting Bald Eagles at 36 and 61, maybe he meant those? (We live near Dale and Country Road C so are in that area a lot.) Gail -Ori

I was stuck in traffic on Hwy 100 when a Snowy Owl flew over me. It was flying west and parallel to the Cedar Lake Trail. Hopefully headed to my yard! Judy Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html

The Long-tailed Duck was seen at 1:00 today in about the same location as it was yesterday. It was just a bit further upriver, nearer to the dam, on the Benton County side of the river. I neglected to mention yesterday that it is a male LT Duck. Herb Dingmann -Original Message- From

Don Anderson, Larry Ricker and I, carpooling together, came across three snowy owls up Hwy. 7, the first on the railroad-owned a bit north and across from the greenhouse, the second one a gleam of white way out in the middle of one of the broad tamarack bogs off the west shoulder of 7, and the thir
