[Michael Hebert]

Tuesday, October 26, 2004.

Barred Owl-- along cty rd 133 near the intersection of cty rd 7 in the 
Sax-Zim area at 7:20 a.m.

Northern Hawk Owl --along hwy  2, 7 miles west of the town of Floodwood 
at 2:30 p.m.

Great Gray Owl--along cty rd 18, north of Palisade at 4:45 p.m.

All  three owls were in trees, alongside the road and were watching the 
culverts below, apparently searching for prey.   We had excellent looks 
at the Northern Hawk Owl through the scope and watched it dive into the 
grass, then fly up and back into the woods, apparently with some type 
of prey.
