[mou] Another Northern Hawk Owl

[Laura Erickson]

I just got a phone call from a woman who saw a hawk owl just north of Hawk 
Ridge yesterday--it was on Beyer Road near Jean Duluth and the Strand 
Road.  Directions:  (*Note--Jean Duluth Road is under construction, so 
don't go that way!)  Take Lester River Road north out of Duluth to the 
Strand Road and turn left (the only way possible).  Go past the school, to 
the Washburn Road, and turn right.  When you come to Beyer Road, turn 
left.  It was perched, as hawk owls are wont to do, in a tree that she sees 
kestrels in during summer.

This is shaping up to be a great owl year, isn't it?

FDR managed to keep this nation strong through a horrible Depression, the 
attack on Pearl Harbor, and World War II by reminding us NOT to be afraid, 
and by fighting profiteers, not making them Vice President.

There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of 
birds.  There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of 
nature--the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.
