Butch Ukura and I birded around Aitkin County this morning and found 
several interesting birds: 3 GREAT GRAY OWLS, 3 SNOWY OWLS, 2 NORTHERN 
HAWK OWLS, 2 NORTHERN GOSHAWKS, 2 NORTHERN SHRIKES, 1 BOREAL CHICKADEE, 
4 GRAY JAYS, 3 RUFFED GROUSE, 40 SNOW BUNTINGS, RAVENS, ETC.
The first Great Gray was on C.R.18, 2 1/2 miles east of hwy 169. The 
second Great Gray Owl was 2  3/4 miles east of hwy 169 on C.R.18. The 
third Great Gray Owl was 1 1/2 miles south of C.R. 18 along C.R.5.
The first Snowy Owl was 3 1/2 miles north of Aitkin along hwy 169. The 
second Snowy Owl was along C.R.1 about 4 1/2 miles north of Aitkin. The 
third Snowy Owl was along C.R.1 about 5 1/2 miles north of Aitkin.
The first Northern Hawk Owl was long C.R.18 about 1 1/2 miles east of 
hwy 169 (note that there were 2 hawk owls at this spot last night). The 
second Northern Hawk Owl was along C.R. 5 about 2 1/2 miles south of 
C.R. 18.
Both Northern Goshawks were along C.R.18 and the Boreal Chickadee was 
along the snowmobile trail that goes south from 320th place.
