My wife and I and Ann and Howard Rosenberg from Toledo, Ohio spent
Presidents weekend in Duluth looking for winter birds.
On Sunday, we found a very cooperative Great Gray Owl on CR 18 0.6
miles east of Pietz's road in Aitkin County at 5:00. It initially
perched along the road and we then flew up to a limb directly across
from our car and sat there for 15 minutes with fantastic views A life
bird for the four of us.
