I went out very early this morning with Paul Ogren to find the previously
reported Snowy Owls in Dodge County. From about 7:10am until 8:15am we drove
around the area of 700th, 690th and 120th looking with no success. We then
found a group of cars looking north on 700th Street to the small snow patch
about 1/4 mile away from the road and to the west of the abandoned school
ruins. The owl was there and may have been there as we were searching before
but this location is far from the road and difficult to see unless you have a
scope on the bird already. There was another paler bird a little further west
on the south side of 700th. This bird was even further from the road. It was
amazing to see two snowies in one location but much like last nights report of
the Streans County owl it would have been a lot nicer had they been closer to
the road. Thank you to those who reported previously on these birds. Jason
