I observed a Snowy Owl in Mower County this afternoon.
The bird is along Mower County Road 20, about 1/2 mile
south of the Mower/Dodge County line, 500 feet east of the
road. The bird was along the edge of a plowed field and a field
with corn stubble standing. Crows were mobbing it when
I first heard about it at 12:30 PM and when I first saw it
at 2:20 PM. At 4:20 PM there were no crows to help
find the bird.
Mower County 20 turns into to Dodge County Road 9, so if
you're coming from the Rochester area it might be easier
to take US 14 to Dodge 9 and then go south.
>From Austin take I-90 west to Mower 20, where the campground is,
and then go north nearly to the county line.
