Ron Erpelding and I surveyed two routes northeast of Bemidji again on
Saturday and found no owls on our either route. However, we spent some
time on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday looking for owls in other places
with some success.

Friday, Feb 04:
In Otter Tail County, we re-located the Northern Hawk Owl reported in
section 22 of Bluffton Township. It was at the corner of 360th Street
and 620th Ave, which is 2 miles east of CR19 on CR76, then south one
mile.
=20
In Wadena County, we were told about a Great Gray Owl which we located
1.2 miles west of the Nimrod population sign on Hwy 227. This may be
the same bird Ben Fritchman found in Nimrod.

In Cass County, we found a Great Gray north of the intersection of CR112
and 76th Ave. (about 1 mile south of the Hubbard County Line). We also
came upon a Barred Owl perched on the 76th Ave street sign at its corner
with Hwy 87. Later we found another Great Gray Owl along Hwy 371 about
1.2 miles south of where Hwy 200 joins it from the east.

Saturday, Feb 05:
In Koochiching County, we found a Great Gray Owl on CR36 1.5 miles west
of CR16. We later found a Northern Hawk Owl along Hwy 71 about 4 miles
southwest of Big Falls.

Sunday, Feb 06:
In Hubbard County, we found a Great Gray Owl along Hwy 71 & 200 =BC mile
east of CR91 and CR92.
=20
In Clearwater County, we found a Great Gray Owl along Hwy 200 =BD mile
east of the Heart Lake Road. This is the same general area where one
has been reported recently. We found a second Great Gray on Hwy 92 1.5
miles south of CR31, and a third Great Gray on Hwy 92 just north of its
intersection with CR22.
=20
In Norman County, we re-found the Northern Hawk-Owl at the intersection
of Hwy 200, Hwy 32, and CR23.
