MILWAUKEE (AP) — It’s looking like another big winter for snowy owls in Wisconsin.  Numerous sightings have been reported of the big birds staging their annual mass migration south from Canada. Ryan Brady, a research scientist with the state Department of Natural Resources, had recorded 226 snowy owls in Wisconsin based on data from a variety of sources.  That’s compared to 173 at the same time last year.  Brady says it appears this migration may be even larger than last year’s. That was believed to be one of the highest migrations in years.
