<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>11/27/14<BR> <BR>After our trek up North to see the Golden-crowned Sparrow. Mark Junghans and I decided to check the Sherburne county location posted by Betsy Beneke, for Snowy Owls. At 3:00 pm we were able to observe five Snowy Owls at this location, including a 1st year female Snowy Owl that was sitting on a ridge of snow about 40 feet East of CR 17. Thanks to Betsy for posting these birds and remember that walking into the fields is trespassing.<BR> <BR>Craig Mandel<BR>Minnetonka, Hennepin County<BR><a href="mailto:EgretCMan@msn.com">EgretCMan@msn.com</a> <br> <BR><div>> Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2014 09:46:11 -0700<br>> From: rba@MOUMN.ORG<br>> Subject: [mou-rba] [mou-net] Two snowy owls at Sherburne County location<br>> To: MOU-RBA@LISTS.UMN.EDU<br>> <br>> At 9:00 a.m. this morning, there were two snowy owls along CR 17, north of<br>> Big Lake. From Hwy. 10 north of Big Lake, turn west/south on CR 17<br>> (there's a light at this intersection), and both of the birds were about<br>> 1/2 mile in, one sitting on a power pole, the other sitting on a wood pile.<br>> <br>> I searched a good chunk of north central and northwest Benton County for<br>> snowy owls yesterday, without success. But I'm not giving up!<br>> <br>> Betsy Beneke<br>> St. Cloud, Benton County<br>> <br>> ----<br>> Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net<br>> Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html<br></div> </div></body>
