Boreal Owl in Sault Ste. Marie

Mich-Listers,

On Saturday morning my wife and I found a Boreal Owl in a large balsam on
the top of the bluff in front of our house along the shores of Izaak
Walton Bay west of Sault Ste. Marie.  It was perched and cleaning it's
talons as the blue jays nearby were going crazy.  Eventually they harassed
it enough that he fled into thicker cover.

I will be posting a photo on upbirders.org tomorrow.
