[mou] FW: Great Gray Owls in Chisago County

[Alt, Mark]

FYI. Just because I didn't see them doesn't mean they weren't there. It
appears the Owls are now moving into Chisago County, not yet in huge
numbers, but who knows? It at least appears the southward movement is
continuing for the leading edge of the irruption. Are there fewer Owls
being seen up north still?  Pine County still has a density where you
can see more than 30 in a single day rather easily.

Subject: Great Gray Owls in Chisago County

I've been following the dialog on the Great Grays in Chisago and Pine
counties, and have some information to add. Last evening (Sun., Jan. 30)
I saw 3 Great Grays hunting in the area north of 420th and CR 67 between
4:45 and 5:20 pm. They were all visible at the same time, and all 3 were
observed hunting.  A fourth Great Gray was perched on a road sign just
east of the intersection of Hwy 95 and CR 67 at about 5:30 pm as I was
on my way out of the area.
