Randy Knott of Thief River Falls contacted me this evening to report that he spotted a Northern Hawk-owl on December 1st 2013 in Sanders Twp, Section 20.
He was in his deer stand when he spotted a Blue Jay harassing the owl. It was within sight for about an hour, between 8:00 and 9:00 am. He said because he was able to watch for a long period of time combined with the fact that at one point it was within 10 feet of him, Randy was easily able to ID it when he got back to the house. The Blue Jay harassed the owl from about 100 feet above the treetops or so. Randy thought the Jay didn't like being that exposed, because he left him alone after that. -- Heidi Hughes Agassiz Audubon Society 120 East Bridge Ave Warren MN 56762 218.745.5663 http://www.facebook.com/AgassizAudubon http://www.facebook.com/WatershedDistrict n ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
