This morning I took my 3 oldest children (6, 5, 2 years old) to hunt for snowy
owls. We found 2! The first was on Becker Co 13, 1/4 mile south of Becker Co
14. It was perched on a power pole. All three kids saw it through the window
mounted spotting scope. It only took 25 minutes to find. They, and I, loved
it. Then we spent two hours playing in the snow in a nearby WPA. We drove one
mile from where we were playing and found another, more mottled, bird. I think
it was 320th Ave. It's the second west/east road north of Bisson Lake on
Hamden Slough NWR. It was on a power pole, then flew to an abandoned silo.
Great fun. Total time birding was less than one hour. Talked to a coyote
hunter who said he's been seeing several snowys north of Audubon, Lake Park,
Hawley in the last weeks.
