To re-use a phrase I used a month or so ago, I had a fairly successful day searching for Snowy Owls today. Early this afternoon, I relocated the Snowy that Ron Erpelding had reported on February 2nd from NE Pope County. The owl was in exactly the same location as it had been when Ron found it - on 110th St. 1/2 mile east of CR33 about 50 yards off the road on the south side. Around 3:20 in the afternoon, I found a Snowy Owl in Swift County along 110th Ave SE (CR85) which is north of Murdock. It was 0.2 miles south of 30th St SE (CR16), and on the ground about 300 yards to the west. While I was writing down the location, the owl departed and I did not see in what direction it went. Shortly after 5:00, I found a Snowy Owl in western Chippewa County 0.6 miles east of CR6 along 10 St. NW. This owl was sitting alongside of a drainage ditch about 300 yards to the north side of the road. Please note that there is a 10 St. SW two miles to the south, and the street signs on both simply say 10 St., so check your maps. Finally, at 6:00 I relocated a Snowy Owl in Yellow Medicine County that Ron Erpelding had reported a month ago. This is on 260th Ave. 0.3 miles west of 500th St. The Owl was on the ground about 200 yards to the south.
