[mou] Northern Hawk Owk - Lake of the Woods County

[Wes Bailey]

Greetings MNBirders;

I sent this message to the listserve on the 10th but my note did not post
for whatever reason. But, while driving back from Roseau I spotted a
northern hawk owl perched in a snag along MN 72 in Lake of the Woods County
about 1 mile north of the Beltrami/Lake of the Woods County line. I found
this owl in the large bog complex near Big Bog SRA area. I had a great view
of the bird and watched it fly down to the ditch and grab a small rodent.

I also saw a lone roughed-legged hawk further north on MN 72 closer to
Baudette. On Sunday night (09 Nov) my co-worker almost hit a snowy owl while
leaving Hayes Lake State Park (not sure what county this park is located,
but 30 minutes SE of Roseau).
