[mou] Carlton County owls

[b.pomeroy]

Hey, all,
I agree...the birds are moving south.  The last two weeks the birds which 
were in Carlton county are now moving south and the farther south I went in 
Carlton towards Pine county, the more birds I saw.  They are on any, and I 
do mean any, side road or county road off any major highway.  The birds are 
also on major highways and even in towns and cities, sitting just off the 
roadside, sometimes just feet from right-of-ways and not very high up in the 
trees.  Just go off any side road and watch...they are out and moving south 
as more and more birds invade.
Good birding and keep all of us informed as they move south.  You people in 
the southern parts of the state will soon have the owls in good numbers.
Have fun and keep safe.
Bruce
