Jacob and all, Last Monday (Feb 6th) at about 10:30 am there was a snowy owl on a fence post along County Road A34 or 13th Street. This was about 4 miles east of Milford (Dickinson county). It spooked when a semi went by and flew to the south. This bird looked like an immature female. Sorry for the late report. Good Birdin', Ed Thelen Spirit Lake,Iowa [email protected] 712-320-2440
