Mariah Babcock and Andy Jones watched the Great Gray Owl (reported to MOU-net earlier today) from 12:00-12:30 on Wednesday. It was hunting, and in the span of about three minutes it caught and ate two voles. It was mostly in the backyard of 1506 Hythe Street, in the alleyway (garages on this street include the house numbers). This alley is between Hythe and Raymond, and is just north of Hendon.
A pair of Blue Jays were following it around, but not vocalizing much. I would recommend following any jays around in the area if you are having trouble finding the bird. Andy -- Andy Jones Bell Museum of Natural History University of Minnesota St. Paul, MN 55108
