I am still in northern MN, but I was contacted by a coworker back home who found a Snowy Owl in Meeker County right at sundown tonight. The location is 0.25 miles west of 525th Ave. along 310th St. She saw it fly and then perch on a pole on 310th St. This is approximately 2 miles north and 1 mile west of Grove City.
In addition to a successful outing on Aitkin Co. Rd 18 on Thursday, I birded the Sax-Zim Bog yesterday. Highlights included: 1 Great Gray Owl (Admiral Rd north of feeders) 1 Northern Hawk Owl (Owl Ave as reported) 2 lifer Boreal Chickadees (Admiral Rd. feeders) 5 Gray Jays (also at feeders) 1 Black-billed Magpie flying We had some interesting feeder action at relatives' homes in Angora and Bear River in addition to the usual suspects. 40+ American Goldfinches at each site 7 Evening Grosbeaks 1 immature and very lost White-crowned Sparrow Pictures of many of these birds will be on my sites sometime in the next couple days. Good Birding!
