This evening at dusk I found a Snowy Owl NE of Vermilion while participating in the Hastings CBC. The almost pure white owl was sitting on an irrigation truss. Directions to where it was observed: from 190th Street, go north on Hogan Avenue past the grain elevators and look east. It was on the south most irrigation unit. It was not refound just a little while after I left the area.
The owl was a delicious dessert on an absolutely beautiful day for birding. In addition I found a Rough-legged Hawk (another was also found), five Brown Creepers, and 22 Eurasian Collared Doves (all outside of Vermillion). Also reported was a Long-tailed Duck at Prescott, a Greater Scaup, a Bluebird, and a White-crowned Sparrow.
