Hi Since my daughter and I were off for the holiday on Monday I packed her up in the car and we went to Pine County to look for owls. We ended up seeing nine Great Gray Owls in Pine County and one on 35W just north of Hinckley, MN.
What was really interesting was watching one Great Gray Owl that was perched on the west side of a section suddenly make a bee line for another Great Gray Owl that flew in and perched on the east side of the section near us; traveling one mile in distance. The attacking Great Gray Owl drove the other bird away. I have seen Great Gray Owls in past irruptions totally ignore other birds in the area. This is the first time I have seen, what I perceived as, territory establishment in this species during irruption years. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
