THE SNOWY OWL AND GREAT HORNED OWL. 
As su|)])leinenting' a ]jlea made in Circular 32, in l)ehall of 
birds of ])rey as a class, we introduce here tigures and brief notes 
of two of onr owls not mentioned in the earlier ])nblication. The 
brst-named, to be sure, is not a common bird in Minnesota. Wdien 
seen, it is generallv in the winter season, at which time we have 
occasionally ol)served it in the bare helds. ( )nr held notes, how- 
ever, show that this bird was met wdth occasionally in Otter ddiil 
Count}’ in October and Xovend)er, some years ago. It is, how- 
ever, distinctl}’ a l)(»real bird, pushing its migrations southerly 
onl}^ in its search for food. 
The Great Horned ( )w’l, however, arri\dng' here sometimes as 
earl\' as Fehrnarv is a common i)ird within onr state borders.
