The hawk owls I posted about on Tuesday were still present in Kanebec and southern Pine Counties. Also found a Great Gray Owl in northern Chisago County. The bird was 1/10 of a mile south of the intersection of 420th and Keystone Avenue about 5:00 PM today. Keystone is also called Cty Rd 67 and goes north from State Highway 95 about 4 miles east of North Branch. I had spent a couple of hours in northern Chisago so these birds are not common this far south. Stumbled across a Boreal Owl out in the open hunting in Kroschel Township of Kanabec county. No point in stating the exact location as the bird was not near any conifers and moved on as it was actively looking for mice. If you want to look for it the whole township has possibilities. Later on there were two wolves in the same area as the owl.
