Had good luck with owls on Sat, 1/8, all birds seen between 3:50pm and
5:03pm:
Northern Hawk Owl
US 169 0.5 mi S of CR18
CR18 1.4 mi E of US 169
CR18 5.3 mi E of US 169, about 100 yd back on N side
CR18 5.8 mi E of US 169
CR5 3.7 mi S of CR18
Great Gray Owl
CR18 1.8 mi E of US 169, when first seen, flying low, barely clearing tops
of woody bushes
CR18 2.1 mi E of US 169
CR18 2.3 mi E of US 169
CR18 3.4 mi E of US 169, back along farm drive, dove into snow, successfully
I think
CR18 3.5 mi E of US 169, saw fly in up to power pole while watching GGO#4
CR18 5.8 mi E of US 169, flew low behind car while watching NHO#4
Unless stated otherwise all the NHOs were on power poles or lines and GGOs
in trees fairly close to the road.
This is the first time we've had any luck with owls in Aitkin Cty, never
have found the residents in previous trips.
Earlier along CR1 saw a Northern Shrike, Bald Eagle, and a couple Ravens.
