Had two hawk owls late this afternoon further south than I have heard of so far this year. The two birds were only about 4 1/2 miles apart in a direct line. I do not believe that they are the same bird as I found them only 10 minutes apart and I had driven almost directly between the two spots and the wind (fairly strong late this PM) was blowing against the first bird moving to the second spot.
Kanabec County-northeast corner of intersection of County Roads 3 and 20 Pine County- 1.3 miles west of County Road 13 on Pokegama Creek Road (this is close to the Kanabec line north of Corner Brook on State Hwy 23) Also spent most of the day in Mille Lacs and Kanabec Counties without finding any Great Gray Owls.
