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
