This afternoon, I saw the Snowy Owl first seen by Matt on Friday and again by the Thelan's on Saturday. From 1:45 p.m. To 2:30p.m., it stayed in the same place. From the junction of N58 and E53 (Carroll county south of Ralston), I went south 1/2 mile and parked in a field lane on the east side of the road. The owl was about 1/4 mile to the west southwest of this location, sitting on a ridge. A distant confinement building was directly behind the owl.
Also, a Rough-legged Hawk was in the vicinity. It was hanging out just east and north of the junction of N58 and E53.
