[mou] Polk County Snowy Owl

[emer0098 at umn.edu]

Folks:
     Female Snowy Owl 3 miles south of US Hwy 2 on Polk CR 46 yesterday 
(2/28) evening just after 5. Horned larks are moving in up here. Snow 
Buntings are starting to break off into pairs or much small flocks. Common 
redpolls are flocked up and working feeders and windblown sunflower fields.
     Hungarian partridge, greater prairie-chickens, and sharp-tailed grouse 
are easy to see if you spend a bit of time on gravel roads in the morning 
before 11 a.m.

Happy trails!
