Hello,
Mary Backus and I drove down and found this owl this morning. It was seen along
21st Ave., about 1/4 to 1/2 mile north of Hwy 82. Mauston is about 3 or 4 miles
west of this road (21st Ave.). We had close views of this bird as it sat on
some low branches maybe 25 or 30 yards from the roadside. If you go looking for
this bird be sure to stay on the roadside (all private land off the road) and
keep as quiet as possible so this bird can do its hunting.

GREAT GRAY OWL near Mauston (Juneau County) yesterday! Daniel McClintock found
and photographed it "a few miles east of Mauston, a little north of Hwy 82"
(exact location not given). At one point it landed on his car's side view
mirror - check out the pics.

I honestly thought about not posting this one due to the onslaught of people
likely to visit but I'm sure everyone will be on their best behavior, if the
bird is even still present. Not to mention I've arranged for Mike McDowell and
Bill Mueller to stake out the area 24/7.
In all seriousness, thanks to Dan for reporting this bird to WDNR. We knew
Great Grays were on the move but this certainly exceeds my expectations.
