northeast at Stoney Point.

Over the past weekend in Aitkin County, Kim Risen reported two GREAT
GRAY OWLS on CR 18 and the Pietz's Road, two SHORT-EARED OWLS at CR 18
and CR 5 and at the Pietz’s Road, and 22 YELLOW RAILS at the McGregor
Marsh. Jason Caddy found a RED-HEADED WOODPECKER on the 30th just north
