In addition to the 5 Snowy Owls reported earlier (yesterday) we had 3 more reports. Denny and Barb Martin found another one North on Mayhew Lake Road (county 1) and 59th Street. in Benton County. Bob Ekblad found a new bird on CR22 and CR 60 (165th Street and 75th Ave.) South and East of Morrison. Justin Watts found a new bird 5 miles East of Royalton on Nature Road and 5th Ave. N.W.. in Morrison County. That was 8 birds for yesterday and our total count is 14 for the three county area. THANKS FOR ALL THE REPORTS. Milt and I found a couple on our own but most are coming from a.few valuable resources. Other birders following up and Milts and my students, their parents, fellow teachers, cooks, and custodians. Its a whole lot easier finding birds with this army of support. P.S. I can't forget the bus drivers and mail carriers. I'm shifting my search a bit to follow up on some Long Eared sightings. If they are safe and the landowners are compliant, I will pass on the news. Not to forget the Snowy Owls I will be checking Todd County. We will keep posting info about the current birds or any new additions.
