This afternoon at about 3:30, I found a GREAT GRAY OWL  on Aitkin County
Road 18 about 3 miles east of highway 169 ( 1 mile west of Pietz'a Road
). The bird was very active and very skiddish, but watchable from a
distance.  Also present this afternoon :  6 NORTHERN SHRIKES, 5
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS,  3 BALD EAGLES, 2 GRAY JAYS, several COMMON
REDPOLLS, several PINE GROSBEAKS, COMMON RAVENS.     Warren Nelson
