Went out late afternoon to spot near the town of Clear Lake known for waterfowl
stopover, low and behold, the long sought Snowy Owl for Sherburne County on a
rise of corn-stubble with a bit of snow patch! SW of Clear Lake along CR57
(labeled as 90th St SE) ~1/2 mi east of CR8 north side of road. Some area
birders arrived as it rested there the two hours to sundown. Perhaps of
interest, we saw two interesting observations: 1. a complete 90degree vertical
upward gaze, a high soaring Red-tailed Hawk overhead. 2. A complete flat
profile scrunching itself into the snow patch edge as a couple Bald Eagles came
through. It was fun to watch its personality as several Canada Geese, Tundra
and Trumpeter Swans flew over. mjb
