Stay tuned to learn if “boy birder” can find his feathered friends on his way south from near the Canadian border in northern Minnesota to the southern reaches of our beautiful country, Florida. He will escape the owl invasion of 2025, and hopefully discover new plumage power. This trip across our country from north to south will take 4 days, with a first stop in Green Bay Packer Country as he attempts to learn how three of his grandchildren ever came to be Cheeseheads.
Fact Check:
- Bird Boy is almost 69 years old, but he still often acts like a little kid
- The Owl Irruption will continue till at least March 1st. As crazy as this may seem, watching a Great Gray Owl is almost becoming boring. The key word here is “almost”.
- This epic journey will be repeated later this month, Northbound Birding.
- The journey begins now in the pre-dawn darkness of northern Minnesota. Les and Amy are hooting their love as I put the final items in our car.

Good luck on trip. I guess those kids were just raised right.
Oh my “almost becoming boring”!! I just drove home from Minnesota back to Cape Coral and saw only one Great Gray Owl while at the Bog. I am trying to figure out how to get back to Minnesota before the irruption is over. Safe travels and make sure to visit the boardwalk at Orlando Wetlands if you have not already done so.
