Mark: the crane is not one of the Wisconsin birds (all of our first year
birds are in either WI or FL) and after talking with the original
observer this morning, Jim Mattsson feels the observation was likely not
a whooping crane so we called off our search hounds. Bob Russell

Subject: Great Gray Owls, northern MN wildlife tourism, and a wandering
whooping crane

Good morning. I thought you might enjoy an owl update. Yesterday I
drove from Blaine to Grand Rapids to give presentations at a wildlife
tourism workshop being sponsored by the Office of Tourism and the
Nongame Wildlife Program. Sharon Stiteler was also a presenter at the
program. You might be interested to know that there were frequent
references the the MOU and their diverse skills, personnel, and
publications for the 40-plus persons in attendance at the meeting.=20
Attendees were from all over northern Minnesota and represented Chambers
of Commerce, CVBs, motels from Lake of the Woods to Duluth, National
Wildlife Refuges, Indian bands, nature centers and the Forest History
Center. The "winter of the owls" has accomplished something very
special: it has put wildlife tourism onto the radar of the northern
Minnesota tourism industry in such a dramatic manner that these people
are really excited to become involved, more accommodating and supportive
of wildlife and nature-related tourism endeavors. Stay tuned for future
developments.

I encountered four great gray owls on the way. Three live and one
fresh roadkill. The first owl was a quarter mile south of the
intersection of Hwy 65 and County Road 2 in Aitkinl County. It was on
the east side of the road perched on top of a power pole at 6:30 a.m.=20
The second owl was on Hwy 210 west of McGregor, and about a mile east of
the intersection of County Road 5 that goes north to Palisade, at about
7:00 a.m.. It was perched about 20 feet up in a tree in the roadside.=20
The third owl was perched on a fencepost adjacent to a pasture on the
east side of Hwy 169, about a hundred feet north of the intersection of
County Road 68 (540th St). That was about 7:20 a.m. The fourth owl, a
fresh roadkill, was found in Itasca County on Hwy 169 about a quarter
mile south of where County Road 450 forks to the left (going north) off
of Hwy 169 (about 13 miles south of Grand Rapids). That owl was
encountered about 7:40 a.m. I traveled the same route home starting at
4:00 p.m. and saw no owls, but I did see a turkey vulture, two
rough-legged hawks, a northern harrier, and a kestrel. I picked up the
dead great gray owl and will be forwarding it along with other DNR
salvaged owls. The breast was plump on the dead owl suggesting that it
was not starving or failing to find food.=20

Because of the late date, I suspect that a fair number of owls that
have chosen to stay and nest in the Aitkin County region, offering an
extended opportunity for viewing during the nesting season. I would
expect that the Palisade area would be a good core area for further
explorations for summering owls--and it seems that early morning is a
prime time for viewing unless the day is overcast and the owls may be
active later in the day. Thursday was a beautiful sunny day and I
understand that they are not quite so apt to be so active along roadways
on the bright days.

Also, there was a report of an immature whooping crane near the
entrance of the Wargo Nature Center early on Wednesday morning. I drove
by there on the way back from a meeting at Carlos Avery at noon that
day, but I did not see the whooper. The sighting was by Frank Taylor, a
good naturalist and avid falconer. It seems a credible sighting, and it
is likely that the whooper is from the Wisconsin release effort and may
be exploring wetlands up in the Carlos Avery area. Maybe we will get
some more sightings this weekend. Have a good weekend. You may share or
forward this information as you see fit. Best wishes, Carrol H.
