SNOWY OWL UPDATE

The Raptor Center called Thur. March 22nd to let us know that the owl had not made it. The owl was young and died of starvation. This is apparently somewhat common of the young owls that come this far south. The normal food source of the owls when on the tundra is lemmings, and according to the Raptor Center they seem to have trouble recognizing the mice of Minnesota as a food source.
