This evening I took a drive up to Aitkin County Road 18. There were two
NORTHERN HAWK OWLS right at the junction of C.R.18 and C.R.5, sitting on
consecutive telephone poles, one eating a meadow vole. There were also
two SHORT-EARED OWLS along C.R.18, one and six-tenths miles east of
Highway 169, one sitting beautifully on a small tree and the other
floating around the field on the south side of the road. Also seen along
C.R.18: one BARRED OWL, two NORTHERN SHRIKES, two SHARP-TAILED GROUSE
and a NORTHERN HARRIER. Other weekend birds: American Kestrels, Hooded
Mergansers, Common Mergansers, Trumpeter Swans, Canada Geese, Red-winged
Blackbirds, Snow Buntings. Warren Nelson
