Hi Steve, I can understand your skepticism. While it is not common for them to be found in trees, it is certainly not unheard of. I sighted a Snowy Owl in St. Cloud a number of years ago in a totally urban setting. This one also landed in a tree. My daughter watched the owl for several minutes and was quite sure of its I.D. That's why this was the first posting I've made to this forum-unusual habitat, unusual behavior. She was pretty excited! ---- Join or Leave mou-net:http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives:http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
