Snowy Owl in Ramsey County
2011-11-23

Occasional in Ramsey County in the Fall season

Yesterday, I received a Raptor Center call about a Snowy seen along 35E just north of downtown St. Paul. My mother (in town for Thanksgiving) and I grabbed our cameras and took off for a possible rescue attempt. 2 crows helped us find the bird sitting in some tall grass along side an entrance ramp. Several attempts to rescue the bird were unsuccessful and we can only hope that he makes it out of town safely.
