A Boreal Owl is being seen at a private residence near Harshaw in Oneida
County. It showed up literally on the homeowner's platform feeder on Sunday and
was seen again on Monday. Some pics of the bird by the homeowner, Peter
Rasmussen, are below.

If the bird continues to be seen, Peter is welcoming visitors STARTING FRIDAY
and through the weekend. Birders will be required to call him first and stay
inside the house to avoid disturbance to the bird. He's going to keep us posted
on whether he sees the bird over the next couple days. To avoid him getting a
bunch of unnecessary calls, I think I'll hold off on posting his contact info
until we know the bird is still being seen. If so, I'll post by tomorrow night
or early Thursday. Peter has witnessed two successful prey captures in his
backyard so perhaps there's enough food to keep this bird here for a while.
Peter also mentioned he was a new member of the North Lakeland Discovery Center
Bird Club in Manitowish Waters. I'm pretty sure they like him already!
