The snowy owl that was reported at the Duluth International Airport was =
seen by several birders including my group. I forgot to add this for =
Jan 15 & 16th post. The owl can be found by either going to the Duluth =
International Airport and view the bird from the observation deck or =
drive north on Hwy 53 to the Stebner Road stop lights. Take a right past =
Gordy's Market and follow the road past the prison and the Federal =
Express building. Take the road that bends to the right and park in the =
parking lot next to the watch tower. The run ways of the airport can be =
easily viewed from here.=20
Kim Eckert and his group found the owl today on top of this small =
utility building that has red and white stripes on it. This red/white =
stripe building is on the far eastern side of the runway. While we =
observed the owl, the snowy owl flew right at us and landed on some of =
the buildings to the west of us. We relocated the owl and once again the =
owl flew directly in front of us and landed on a telephone pole at the =
intersection of Stebner and Highway 53. The owl has a green wing tag on =
it and not a black cap on it. So it might be a owl our local snowy owl =
researcher banded in Duluth some time ago. To me it appeared to be a =
young male snowy owl. Its fairly white with a small amount of brownish =
flecks on it. The owl was seen again by Kim Risen late this evening =
back over near the prison buildings.
The snowy owl in the Proctor railroad yard was searched by several =
birders yesterday and as far as I know no one has relocated it. The owl =
was last observed by Mike Overton last Friday. (?)
