On the way to a meeting in Thief River Falls today - a Northern Shrike flew in front of my car at the wetlands by the intersection of MN Hwy1, County 8 and County 13 west of TRF. Continuing east on MN Hwy1 towards TRF at the sign for the turn to the TRF sewage lagoon sat a huge female Snowy Owl on a utility pole. Yesterday, Mary Casavan, Red Lake Falls Librarian, reported seeing a Snowy Owl as she drove north at the county line on MN 32 on her to Thief River Falls... the bird flew right over her car too. I also spotted several Rough-legged Hawks and Bald Eagles plus one little male Great Horned Owl at the Agassiz Valley Flood Control impoundment southeast of Warren (Marshall and Polk Counties) today.
