Two friends from St. Louis, Missouri came to town to see the owls last weekend.Of course the owls did not disappoint. As soon as Teri was off the plane we took a quick evening trip along Hwy 48 east of 35 on Friday and saw 17 Great Gray Owls. We took a longer marathon early morning trip to Aitkin, Carleton & St. Louis Counties on Saturday. There was a marked difference in the number of owls seen in the morning versus the evening. We saw 104 different Great Grays between sun-up and 10:30 am. Our highlight was Aitkin County. Here are Saturday's Owl numbers: 114 Great Gray Owls (97 in Aitkin County) 7 Northern Hawk Owls 1 Barred Owl PLUS... 1 Three-toed Woodpecker 1 Black-blacked Woodpecker 1 Rough-legged Hawk 2 Sharp-tailed Grouse 1 Ruffed Grouse 2 Northern Shrikes Gray Jays Pine Grosbeaks Snow Buntings Redpolls and the other usual suspects including at least 4 porcupine in trees.
