Spent the day around Morrison and Benton counties looking for Snowy Owls like several others. Thank you to Frank and Milton for sharing location updates. Interpreting the recent posts of the many locations, and a few ebird reports I compiled a map of many (but certainly not all) sightings to help anyone who is interested in pinpointing where some of the recent locations are. I think the owls often move around a bit so this should just be a suggested area map. Today I saw the heavily barred owl close to Sauk Rapids near 35th and Mayhew Lake rd. (Marked on the map as marker 'H') And a fairly white owl that may not have been reported on Nature Road and 5th Ave NW (marker 'J') 5 miles East of Royalton. It flew off south eventually as I watched. Couple photos - http://flic.kr/p/iv4nG6 Wonderful owls. First time seeing them. I also wanted to mention that while the owls are fairly tolerant of passing cars they don't seem to appreciate the photo tourists parking right underneath their pole. Try to give the owls some space so they aren't constantly flushed to unknown locations and harassed by so many vehicles. Heres the link to the locations map: http://mapper.acme.com/?ll=45.75812,-94.06859&z=10&t=M&marker0=45.91079%2C-94.36707%2C7.3%20km%20S%20of%20Little%20Falls%20MN&marker1=45.73177%2C-94.38758%2C2%20Snow&marker2=45.71361%2C-93.94169%2Cunnamed&marker3=45.82994%2C-94.32450%2C2.4%20km%20W%20of%20Royalton%20MN&marker4=45.67930%2C-94.69327%2C1.9%20km%20N%20of%20Freeport%20MN&marker5=45.74513%2C-94.55400%2C6.7%20km%20WxNW%20of%20Holdingford%20MN&marker6=45.64741%2C-94.07249%2C9.1%20km%20SW%20of%20Benton%20County%20MN&marker7=45.63355%2C-94.13378%2C5.3%20km%20NxNE%20of%20Sauk%20Rapids%20MN&marker8=45.70190%2C-94.54324%2C5.6%20km%20ExNE%20of%20Saint%20Anthony%20MN&marker9=45.83089%2C-94.18408%2C8.5%20km%20E%20of%20Royalton%20MN&marker10=45.73374%2C-94.04881%2C6.3%20km%20NW%20of%20Benton%20County%20MN&marker11=45.73057%2C-94.50955%2C3.1%20km%20W%20of%20Holdingford%20MN ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
