Hi All,

There is a, rare in Wisconsin, Great Grey Owl that has taken up residence by Capital Brewery in Middleton. The owl is huge, and easy to find. Unfortunately it has also become a bit of a star in the area, and it has made the news:

There are also usually a flock of people huddled together watching it. The plus of that is it is easy to have someone point it out if you are not good at spotting.

Here is a map, the owl is living in the yard of a house just east of Cap Brew

I will probably go over and check it out one of these days. It is huge and worth seeing. It looks like a flying raccoon, to give you some prospective on the size.
