This is to confirm that very good numbers of northern owls remained in
Aitkin Co. as of Sunday evening-Monday morning.
Of particular interest to me were 3 NORTHERN HAWK OWLS along CR 1. One was
100 yds NE of CR 1/Great River Rd. (Great River Rd. borders the diversion
channel, which is 4 mi. N of downtown Aitkin City). The other two were 1
mi. S, and 2 mi. N of this intersection.
GREAT GRAY OWLS were still plentiful along the 1.5 mile-long stretch of CR
1 north of Great River Rd., the area previously reported by Warren
Nelson. I estimated 20 GGO in this area, and a total of another 20
sprinkled along the following roads: CR 1 from CR 22 northwards to Round L.
on CR 29; CR 3 between US 169 and CR 29; CR 18 between US 169 and CR 5; CR
5 between CR 3 and MN 210; MN 210 between CR 5 and US 169.
Also observed: 3 SHARP-TAILED GROUSE in the lek W. of CR 1, 1 mi N of
Great River Rd., 6-10 ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS along CR 1 & 29 between Aitkin
City and CR 3, and AMERICAN MAGPIE along CR 5 about 2 mi S Palisade.
