Found a Long-eared owl dead on the side of a gravel road, near Bisson Lake near Becker County CR 13 and CR14. Non-native prairie grass habitat, so odd location. Looks like it has been dead for few weeks to a month, feet missing or cut off. According to eBird it will be rare but eBird isn't set up for documenting dead bird locations, so thought I'd post it here. (yes, forwarding info to DNR)
Some nice snowy owls hanging out in the area too, as reported by others. Lots of early stuff in that area the past week, Turkey Vulture (!), Harriers, huge flock of ~400 Horned larks, etc...
