On my way into Spirit Lake this morning, I saw a Snowy Owl on some branches at the top of a tree off 240th Ave along the west side of Big Spirit Lake (near the dirt road between Sunken Lake and East Hottes Lake). First time I've ever seen one in a tree.
On my way back home it had moved a hundred yards or so north and was now in a tree along 240th Ave looking down at a muskrat on the ice on East Hottes Lake. -- Derek Bakken [email protected] ornitholature.blogspot.com Please contribute your sightings to our list; it is only as good as members make it!
