I just saw some pictures that were taken of the bird that weren't from an angle
looking directly into the sun. Based on those, the bird is actually a juvenile
female. I goofed.....
It was seen flying across Hwy 53 and it went somewhere to the north of the
highway. There is an extensive open area in that direction (north on County
AA) where it could end up.

Gwyn Calvetti found an immature male Snowy Owl in a soy bean field on the south
side of Hwy 53 just west of the intersection of County AA. This location is
about ½ mile north of Hunter's Bridge (the Hwy 53 bridge over the Black River)
and a few miles east of Galesville.
When I went to see the bird over my lunch hour, it was still sitting in the
field. It was located about 100 yards south of Hwy 53 and a little southwest
of the field driveway and the driveway of the now-closed surplus business that
is located on the west side of AA at that intersection.
It is nice to see another Snowy Owl in the area.
Thanks to Gwyn for sharing the sighting!!
On my way back to work, I found a Northern Shrike on the west side of County XX
about 50 yards north of the intersection with Briggs Road. I saw the same bird
in that area on Monday. I have also seen another Northern Shrike a couple of
times on the south side of County ZN about 100 yards west of the parking area
for the Halfway Creek Marsh. That is located about ½ mile west of Midway.
Shrikes can move around so that sighting could be the same bird.
Good birding,
