Paul Pedersen near Rochester, MN Subject: Another Great Gray Owl Sighting From: "Jason P O'Brien" <jpobrien AT iastate.edu> Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2005 17:32:09 -0600 Greetings, I was talking with an ISU employee today, and over the weekend, he saw a Great Gray Owl west of Stratford along the Des Moines River. He wouldn't give me specific location but he said it was roughly a mile off of Hwy 175 in the timber. He was calling Great Horned Owls and said a Great Gray came in and landed for him to get a definitive look.
