Owls from Canada have migrated to Minnesota looking for food. I wanted to get some shots of the owls. We weren't having much luck but on the way home we spotted an owl about 300 yards away sitting on a power pole. My wife stopped along the road and jumped out to take a shot. Just at that moment this owl that was in the ditch, jumped up to the power box. I snapped off this picture and several others before my wife yelled that she had taken a couple of pictures but the owl was too far away to look real good. That spooked the owl and scared my wife half to death

Hey Gopher, where did you find the owl. I'm in St. Paul and would like to
try to find one.

A naturalist I recently spoke to said he is going to minnesote to photogtraph owls. He said that there is a population problem with rodents up north in Canada and the owls are being forced south in search of food. He said that it rarely happens but the owl population in these areas in going to increase tenfold in the next moth. If you live in that area, be ready for some good shooting.
