Hi Birders In response to Mark Alt's query about owls up north, I just had to let you know they still seem plentiful in Aitkin County. On Saturday I was out with the Crosby/Brainerd bird club and personally saw 99 Great Gray Owls, the group total was much higher.
Today, Monday, I went along a route from my house north of Tamarack to McGregor, south to CR 4, west to Hwy 47, south to CR 2 back east to Hwy 65 and north again to McGregor and home. I saw 94 Great Gray Owls. There were also 3 found dead on the road from being hit by cars. Cindy Butler Risen
