Hi Today I got a call from a visiting birder from Ohio, after leaving my area in Aitkin Co they headed south to Pine County and found a Boreal Owl on CR 21 also known as Cloverdale Road about 200 yards north of the intersection with Koland Road. This is between CR 32 east of Askov and CR 30 east of Sandstone.
I was out with the Crosby/Brainerd bird club and once again we found an incredible number of Great Gray Owls in northern Aitkin County. Lots of fun and many birders out that way looking at all the owls. We also saw a flock of Bohemian Waxwings, Northern Hawk Owls, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Bald Eagle and Northern Shrike.
