A group of us birded our way from central Iowa to northeastern Minnesota today. We relocated the Snowy Owl in Dodge County this morning at 10:15 am. The owl was 0.25 miles east of CR-3 (130th Ave) and just south of CR-4 (710th St), on the south side of a drainage ditch and along a fence line running north-south.
Late in the afternoon, we quickly made a run through the Sax-Zim area, and relocated a Great Gray Owl on McDavitt Rd. (CR-213) 2.9 miles north of the Sax Road (CR-28).
We're going to be birding in northern Minnesota until mid-day Monday, and we'd be quite interested to hear from anyone who finds a live Boreal Owl during our time in the area. Thanks!
