(Not a sports team.)
A few weeks ago, I wrote about the phenomenal numbers of Great Gray Owls and Northern Hawk Owls that had moved south out of Canada into northern Minnesota this winter. Well, the numbers and sightings continue to amaze! Never before in the recorded history of birding has something like this happened. A typical winter season may bring 30 to 35 Great Gray Owls to northern Minnesota; but in 2004-2005 (now called The Year of the Owl), over 2,500 individual birds have been recorded!
