At 5:00 PM Sunday afternoon refound the Northern Hawk Owl on the powerline
on the south side of Chisago County Rd. 7, 1.7 miles west of I-35. This is the
same owl, at the same spot, previously reported by Tom Nelson on 29 Jan.
This area is near Rush City and right off I-35. This owl has now been seen on
three late afternoons in a row.
At 5:30 PM refound the Great Gray Owl 1.9 miles north of the intersection of
Cty Rd. 67 (Keystone Ave.) and MN 95. This is probably the owl previously
reported by Dennis Martin on 27 Jan., but was a little farther south than the
location reported by him. This owl was spotted hunting in a field just to
the west of Co. Rd. 67. Also found a Northern Harrier on Chisago 67 and
another a little further north on Chisago 9 This area is northeast of North
Branch.
Both of these locations are not far off of I-35 and only an hour or so from
Rosedale Shopping Center. Be careful at the Northern Hawk Owl site, no
shoulder, and a fair amount of traffic.
A good route to follow in terms of habitat is to follow Chisago County 9
between the two sites. Just remember to shave a little distance off of the 1.7
miles west of I-35 for the Northern Hawk Owl site if you take the County 9
route from the North Branch site.
My three times-a-week check at Carlos Avery and the adjacent Boot Lake SNA
on Saturday found a Great Horned Owl near the northwest corner of Carlos
Avery, eighty yards south of the east-west road.
