[mou] Pre-MBW Scouting in Sax-Zim

[Chris Fagyal]

Left work today around noon and went up to Sax-Zim to scout around and 
see what was to be seen.  Stopped briefly in Lino Lakes to get the 
Northern Saw-Whet Owl..what a beautiful creature.  Made it to Sax-Zim 
(Cotton) around 2:45pm.  In the 2 hours of light I picked up no less 
than  16 Great Grey Owls and 6 Northern Hawk-Owls, and that was only 
along 5 roads total: Arkola, Hwy 7, Stone Lk Rd, Admiral Rd, McDavitt 
Rd.  The breakdown was as follows:

Arkola Rd: 5 Great Grey, 1 Northern Hawk Owl, all seen at dusk on the 
way back.
Hwy 7: 5 Great Grey, 2 Northern Hawk Owl
Stone Lk Rd: 3 Great Grey, 1 Northern Hawk Owl
Admiral Rd: 1 Northern Hawk Owl
McDavitt Rd: 2 Great Grey

Cheers,
Chris
