[mou] FW: [wisb] Snowy Owls - Ashland, Wisconsin

[Debbie Waters]

Hi folks,
For those of you heading to Duluth this weekend for the "Owls on the Move"
northern owl symposium, I have re-posted information from Ryan Brady about
the Snowy Owls in Ashland, Wisconsin.  Ryan Brady has been watching &
photographing the Snowy Owls in Ashland all winter (and there have been a
LOT).  Ashland is 90 miles east of Duluth.  More information is below.

See you at the symposium!
Debbie
p.s. Ryan's website is chock full of bird photos, including gyrs, snowies,
and shrikes in the Ashland area.

Here's the necessary details for those wanting to see Snowy Owls near
Ashland:

Snowy #1 = immature female along Ashland lakefront (roosts on ice by day)
Snowy #2 = adult female along Ashland-Bayfield Rd on west side of Ashland's
JFK Airport
Snowy #3 = immature female along Sanborn Avenue (Hwy 112) between Wakefield
and Klaus Roads
Snowy #4 = immature male along Beaser Avenue near Butterworth and Weister
Roads

Best time to find all birds is the last hour of daylight, but #1 can be seen
on ice during day with scope and inland birds occasionally seen on ground or
haybales during day.  If unsuccessful at above locations, check surrounding
field areas.
