[mou] Dakota Snowy Owl re-found

[Dave Bartkey]

Hi everyone,

  John & Chris Hockema and I re-located the Snowy Owl this afternoon at
about 4:15 PM, pretty much at the same location Jim Mattson reported the
bird on the 23rd, which is east of Emery Ave. and about .4 miles south of
170th St. The bird was sitting on the ground, glowing in the afternoon sun.
(Thanks Jim!)

 

  Other birds of interest included a very cooperative juvenile
Red-shouldered Hawk at Lake Rebecca in Hastings, and four very large flocks
of Snow Buntings; three in agricultural Dakota County and one in the same
habitat in Rice County, south of Nerstrand.

 

  Both the Barrow's Goldeneye and the Harlequin Duck were no-shows today at
Pt. Douglas/Prescott.

 

Good birding!
