Sorry this post is late (I was on my way join Kim Eckert's MBW group =
at the time and I didn't get back home until today) but on Saturday, =
3-27 at 10:45 am I found a Snowy Owl in southern Renville county. I was =
traveling south on Hwy. 4 when I saw it flying north on the west side of =
the highway. I turned around as quickly as I could and fortunately it =
landed in a stubble field a few hundred feet from the highway on the =
east side of Hwy. 4. I was returning from a New Ulm Birders field trip =
near Fairfax at the time and after a few minutes some of the other =
members of the group came by and I was able to flag them down and they =
got good looks at the bird, too.
The Snowy Owl was an adult as it was almost pure white. The =
approximate location where it was seen was between Renville Co. Rd 77 =
and 39 (I think it was 39 - whatever the next co. road is north of 77, =
they weren't far apart), just a mile or so north of Fort Ridgely State =
Park.
