Many people reported Snowy Owls from the Vermillion area (Dakota Co.) on 12/31 and 1/1. Susan and I saw three each day, of at least four different individuals. From eBird reports that included specific location, time, and sometimes description/photo from those two days, I conclude there were at least seven different individuals within a 3-mile radius of 180th St. E/Goodwin Ave. intersection. One (which we did not see) is a sparsely marked presumed adult male reported by several near 190th/Hogan. A different lightly marked presumed adult was near 170th/Emery Ave. Others were more heavily marked. One that we photographed each day (identified by head pattern) moved about 1.3 miles between the two sightings. All reports over these two days have been in the area connected by these points: Emery, 1/4 mi. N of 160th; 170th, 1/4 mi. W of Emery; 180th/Emery; Goodwin/C.R. 47; 180th, 1/2 mi. E of C.R. 47.
