   This evening after work I went north of town to check out the owl
situation.  First, I went up C.R.1 and found 4 NORTHERN HAWK OWLS and 4
GREAT GRAY OWLS.  I then went west on C.R.22 to C.R.24 (Blind Lake Road)
and found 11 GREAT GRAY OWLS and a gray phased EASTERN SCREECH OWL . The
Screech Owl was right at the junction with 430th Place on the west side
of the lake.  The bird was in a tree right behind the sign. It was very
actively hunting right at sunset.      Warren Nelson
