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.
Good birding,
