Matt Hanan and I toured Pine County from 2:50 - 4:45 today. We found 23 Great
Gray Owls, one Northern Hawk Owl, two Northern Shrikes and two Bald eagles.
The Northern Hawk Owl was found along #48 1/4 mile west of mile marker 17. It
was in a dead tree about 200 feet north of the highway.
Most of the Great Gray Owls were seen in areas reported yesterday, five were
in different areas.
One was about 100 yards south of #48 on the road into St. Croix State Park.
One was along #173 about 200 feet south of #25.
One was about1/4 mile south of #30 along #24.
One was seen along #30 about two miles west of #21.
The fifth was seen along #48 1/2 mile east of the Hinckley casino.
Our most productive areas were along #30 between 22 and 21 and along # 21
between 30 and 48. We were in these areas between 4:00 and 4:45. Who knows, had
we been elsewhere during those 45 minutes, they may have been our most
productive areas. The last hour before sunset is definitely the time the owls are most
active.

If you are too busy to go birding, you are too busy.
