Hi Birders
In response to Mark Alt's query about owls up north, I just had to let you
know they still seem plentiful in Aitkin County. On Saturday I was out with
the Crosby/Brainerd bird club and personally saw 99 Great Gray Owls, the
group total was much higher. 

Today, Monday, I went along a route from my house north of Tamarack to
McGregor, south to CR 4, west to Hwy 47, south to CR 2 back east to Hwy 65
and north again to McGregor and home. I saw 94 Great Gray Owls. There were
also 3 found dead on the road from being hit by cars.
