I was told my find today may be of interest to this group. Today while
looking for a snowy, I was driving just north of Hutchinson (McLeod County)
towards Meeker County on Tagus Avenue and noticed what I thought was a
small hawk on a utility line. I slowed down when it appeared to be
something else. I stopped and snapped a photo and later identified it as a
Northern Hawk Owl. The exact location would be County Rd 12 (Tagus Avenue)
and the 230th Street intersection. Here is a link to a photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28298697@N07/11877789925/ Feel free to ask
any questions you may have!
