"NORTHERN MINNESOTA - WINTER OWL INVASION" is the progam for the May meeting of the TOS Nashville chapter. As most of you know the winter of 2004/2005 was an irruptive year for owls in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Over 2000 Great Gray Owls, 300 Northern Hawk Owls and several hundred Boreal Owls were seen during the winter. The staggering numbers sent hundreds of birders north during the coldest months of the year. A group af Nashville birders ventured north in mid-February to see owls and other boreal species including Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee, Common and Hoary Redpoll, Pine Grosbeak and hundreds of Bohemian Waxwings. So come cool off and see video by Jan Shaw and slides by Frank Fekel. The public and non-members are welcome. Refreshments at 7:pm, the meeting begins at 7:30 Radnor Lake Visitor Center, Nashville.
