Bird bloggers from Wisconsin to Massachusetts. Remember that friend of mine that saw 17 breeding pairs of Snowy Owls in a single valley? If they each raised nine owlets, the owlets alone would have eaten over 25,000 lemmings from that valley. So this was a good summer for lemmings, a very good year. Thank a pine cone.
