Just today there were two women laughing that they should just walk into a farm field where there was a very nice Snowy Owl. I asked them to please not do that as it causes trouble for all of us. There was a man there who had found the landowner's information and left a message and was awaiting a call before he would trespass. I guess if he got permission it would no longer be trespassing, would it? Sue Keator, Edina
