[mou] Redwood Co. Snowy Owl

[patrick.beauzay@ndsu.edu]

Hello all,

Many thanks to Dean Riemer for posting this sighting earlier today. I
didn't know when I would be home today to post this sighting and thought
there might be some area birders who could dash to Redwood Co. today if
they needed this species for a county list.  This is the first Snowy Owl
I've ever seen in Redwood County. Needless to say I was pretty excited!

I'll post pics of the owl on my Flickr site as soon as I get back to Fargo
on Tuesday (I forgot my USB cord and card reader). If you're interested,
check out the "Hepburn's" Gray-crowned Rosy-Finch that was found in
Rogers, ND. Both Dean and I have photos of this bird.
