[mou] Northern Saw-whet Owl - Stearns County

[Herb.Dingmann at trimingov.com]

The office I work at (located in Sartell) has large windows along the east
and south sides.  Occasionally we will hear a bird collide with a window
and most times the bird will fly off apparently unharmed.  About 15 minutes
ago we heard a loud thud and upon investigating I was surprised to find a
Saw-whet Owl sitting in the snow near the window.  After a few minutes it
flew off to a neighboring tree and is still sitting there as I type this.
In the meantime, a co-worker did get a couple of pictures on a digital
camera.
