Owls in Aitkin Co.

Took a short trip to Aitkin Co today to look for owls.  I had just about given up on seeing an owl when this Northern Hawk Owl landed on the power pole right beside my car.  About 15 minutes later we came upon a Great Gray Owl perched in a tree right along the road.  We observed it catch and eat something and fly back to perch in a nearby tree. We then saw a second Northern Hawk Owl.  Good Day of Birding!
