FYI. Just because I didn't see them doesn't mean they weren't there. It appears the Owls are now moving into Chisago County, not yet in huge numbers, but who knows? It at least appears the southward movement is continuing for the leading edge of the irruption. Are there fewer Owls being seen up north still? Pine County still has a density where you can see more than 30 in a single day rather easily.

Last evening (Sun., Jan. 30) I saw 3 Great Grays hunting in the area north of 420th and CR 67 between 4:45 and 5:20 pm. They were all visible at the same time, and all 3 were observed hunting. A fourth Great Gray was perched on a road sign just east of the intersection of Hwy 95 and CR 67 at about 5:30 pm as I was on my way out of the area.
