Hi,

My family and I saw two Great Gray Owls east of Rush City at dusk last =
night, 3/23/05.  One was south of County Rd 55, about 1 mile east of =
361/Forest Blvd (if you're familiar with Rush City, this is about 1 mile =
east of the Grant House).  The other was about .8 mi east of Forest Blvd =
south of 500th St (along Hickory Avenue).

Here's a Google map (you may need to zoom in a level or two):

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=3Drush%20city%2C%20mn&ll=3D45.679337%2C-92.=

ush%20city%2C%20mn&ll=3D45.679337%2C-92.956063&spn=3D0.007019%2C0.01419&h=
l=3Den>

My dad said that a few Great Grays have been seen generally east of Rush =
City over the last week or two.  He's been farming in the area and =
actively observing birds for a good six decades, and he'd never seen a =
Great Gray Owl there until this month.
