If anyone wants to spend a good day birding, Central Minnesota has a lot to offer. Presently, 5 different Snowys were found in Morrison, 2 with a possible third in Benton, and 3 in the Holdingford area of Stearns. All the fore-mentioned birds are within a half hour drive from each other. Its nice not having to go hundreds of miles to look for birds when there is plenty of excitement right in my back yard. Other Owls seen recently in the area, 2 Great Horned, 1 Long Eared, 2 Barred, 1 Screech. Good year for Owling. Low numbers in Grosbeak, Crossbill, Sisken, and Red Poll. Hope they start showing up in larger numbers. I need to relocate a Long Eared for Butch from the Crosby area. I teach school so the next 12 days are free because of Christmas break and I will be on the trail enjoying the outdoors. My excuse is, its a courtesy to my wife so I'm not under her feet. Contact me or Milt Blomberg if you have any questions.
