Introduced some Missouri friends to the bog yesterday. The day started slowly
but luckily we were able to locate both northern owl species and the
sightings picked up after 3pm. We struck out on the Snowy but luckily the girls are
working in Duluth over the next few days so maybe they'll have better luck. We
met quite a few charming & friendly locals in Two Harbors and the Bog.
The total was 14 Great Gray Owls and 7 Northern Hawk Owls.
The other highlights were the flock of White-winged Crossbills feeding on Owl
Avenue south of Arkola, two northern shrikes (hwy 61 north of McDowell, Sax
Zim Hwy 7), a Ruffed Grouse (corner of Owl Ave & Arkola) and a flock of
Red-breasted Mergansers displaying to each other (Duluth).
A great day but definitely less owls hunting in the daylight than last time I
was in the bog in January.
