I got a call today about a "small" owl that died (last week) in a yard full of bird feeders - two miles east of Warren and one mile north of State Hwy 1 on 310th Ave near the Snake River overpass.
I drove over and dug through last night's snow and found it... a Boreal Owl. (a photo is posted on the Agassiz Audubon facebook page). I have not seen the Boreal Owl spotted two weeks ago at the Audubon Center (Polk County). A Snowy Owl was reported today - it may be the same bird reported several times this winter - west on County 23 (from US 75 at Angus MN) to County 20 and north to 190th Street - it has flown up from the ditches and perched on power poles along this road and to the west on township roads. -- Heidi Hughes Agassiz Audubon Society 27391 190th Street NW Warren MN 56762 218.745.5663 http://AgassizAudubon.blogspot.com <http://agassizaudubon.blogspot.com/> http://www.facebook.com/AgassizAudubon ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
