[mou] Aitkin Co Boreal Owl

[Cindy Butler Risen]

Hi all
Today there was a Boreal Owl sleeping along Hwy 210 west of McGregor. The
owl was 1 mile west of the stop sign in McGregor just past CR 62. I had
asked my neighbor, Mike, owner of McGregor Printing to let me know if he
saw any little owls, he had seen the one Kim did north of Tamarack,  and
today he called to say " I saw one of those little owls". I drove over and
sure enough a Boreal Owl was sleeping in a Jack Pine right along the highway. 

By the way, there are still quite a few Great Gray Owls between Tamarack
and McGregor. On Tuesday afternoon I found 59 on a loop from my house to
McGregor and back. There are 3 or 4 Northern Hawk Owls in the area also. 

Also today east of McGregor I saw a Northern Harrier. Still Pine and
Evening Grosbeaks north of Tamarack.

Have fun
