G1·eat Horned Owl: Nov 15, Harrison Township, Kandiyohi Co., a very white individual, possibly subarcticus, was collected and sent to the Minnesota Museum of Natural History. In the Fall Report, I listed three possible reports of subarcticus, only one of which (Olyphant) seemed reasonably certain. Now, however, after seeing photographs of her bird, there is the possibility that it was scalariventris. Many specimens in many museums stand incorrectly under the name subarcticus when they are actually scalariventris. | ||
