I just got an email from one of our bus drivers that she found a Snowy Owl early this morning in Meeker County. She has reported Snowy Owls to me before. Here are her words:
"This morning at about 6:35 am I saw the most beautiful sighting of a snow owl. As I was driving down the road I saw ahead of me something big and white in the ditch and as I approached it lifted off with something in its claws. Flew along side the bus for a few yards and I got to see it up close.....beautiful...... It as about 2 miles north of Grove City on Hwy 4 and than if you turn by the Swede Grove township building and go east for about a half mile that is where I saw it." I am teaching right now and can't go look for it. If you go, good luck finding it in this white-out and be safe.
