Hi all- Some filmmakers for National Geographic Television are hoping to film Great Gray Owls in Minnesota in the next few weeks. Their contact information is below if anyone has sightings they want to share.
Speaking of Great Grays, Nate Popkin saw one yesterday (the 6th) in the Sax-Zim Bog along the McDavitt Road (CR 233) about 3 miles north of the Sax Road (CR 28).

My husband and I are working on a film for National Geographic Television and are hoping to film great grey owls in the next few weeks for this project. We have filmed in the past near Duluth (Sax Zim bog, etc.) when there are great grey invasions; your website is a great resource to get updated information. I'm wondering if you've had any new sightings of great greys since the Dec. 30th report, and whether you'd be willing to contact us as soon as new sightings come in? We are hoping to be able to do this sequence within the next couple of weeks, and will have to decide whether we need to go further north to accomplish this soon, if the Duluth area doesn't have enough owls to justify a trip there. Thanks in advance for any information you can send our way. Feel free to forward this to any birders in the Duluth area as well.
