Has been a large south migration of Great Grays starting in Oct 2024 in southern Manitoba should be interesting if the marten follow suit like they did several years ago

Send me a pm if you prefer. 2 years of drought then abnormal wet June conditions made a poor reproduction with vole season. We did not get snow till lately so hard for what red backs there was had a hard time. As well little mycillia production for 2 years of drought = red back vole food source. Rough legged halks moved through in 2 weeks with no meadow voles around I have not talked to the GGO bander of some of the weights of his birds he has gotten this fall. Have picked up 2 DOR's of GGO's this fall, (under a salvage permit for lice)

Send me a pm if you prefer. Great Grays nest in Minnesota, I think most of the birds I saw were locals. Boreal and Hawk Owls are migrating down in what is supposed to be an irruption year for them, not sure what causes that. Reports are banders are catching them in high numbers along the N shore of Lake Superior but they haven’t made it into Minnesota in numbers yet. I’ll PM you the location
