[mou] Short Eared Owl- Freeborn County

[Watson, Alexander Robert]

A Short Eared Owl can be seen on Hwy 251 immieadiatly east of Maple =
Island in freeborn county.  The bird was first seen on the 4th and has =
been seen for the last two nights.  It is seen before sunset working the =
area east of Maple Island to 860th St.  A local says that he sees the =
bird just about every night.  My father-in-law who first found it has =
some nice photos.  A Northern Shrike was also seen in the area =
yesterday.

Good Birding
