[mou] Aitkin County this last weekend

[Warren]

I found a few interesting birds around Aitkin County this last weekend.
SNOWY OWL still in the same area northeast of Aitkin along highway 
210/169 near 370th Lane (very dark bird)
BOREAL CHICKADEES at the Rabey tree farm along highway 200 between Hill 
City and Jacobson near milepost 186. The birds were on the north side of 
the highway a couple hundred yards to the west of marker 186.
BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS: along highway 200 east of Jacobson. The first 
was about a hundred yards west of milepost 198 and second was right at 
milepost 199.
12 SHARP-TAILED GROUSE on C.R.18 about a mile and one quarter east of 
highway 169.
Thanks to Barb and Sue, I got to see the NORTHERN HAWK OWL near 
McGregor. I found it at 8/10 mile west of highway 65 on C.R.8. It was on 
the south side of the road sitting over a house just to the west of 
where the power lines cross the road.
Other birds seen:PINE GROSBEAKS, COMMON REDPOLLS, SNOW BUNTINGS, 7 
RUFFED GROUSE.
