The only things we've seen in that vicinity are red-tailed hawks and
pigeons. We have never seen nor heard about a snowy owl in Roseville.
There is the pair of nesting Bald Eagles at 36 and 61, maybe he meant those?
(We live near Dale and Country Road C so are in that area a lot.)

Subject: [mou-net] Snowy Owl "story" overheard
Tuesday, on a trip to Costco in Maplewood, I overheard the gas attendant say
that there were 2 "snow owls nesting" near Dale and Hwy 36.
I was cold and it was windy and he was already 3 cars back, so I didn't ask
more about his 'story.'
I know they are summer nesters, and all about the irruption this year. I
also know they are usually loners when coming south.
But: Are there any snowy owls near that intersection in Roseville, or
nearby?
