Last night as I was scoping out the route that was to be surveyed for the
Owl Survey for Dave Grosshuesch of Hawk Ridge, I came upon a Great Gray Owl
sitting on the power lines. The location was just south of Orr in northern
St Louis County about 1 mile west of Hwy 53 on Co. Rd. 23. This was about
6:20 pm right before the sun set.
As I have reported earlier, every morning as I leave Crane Lake (in far
northern St Louis County) for work, I have seen Red Crossbills on the road
shoulders eating sand and salt. I wonder, how much salt and sand can a small
bird eat? There must be a very good cone crop this year.
