How Do the Owls Find Sirius?

Okay, this is something I've been wondering about for a while.

Since the owls in the wizarding world are so adept at finding people 
without being given addresses, why couldn't the MoM just have sent an 
owl to Sirius when he escaped to find out where he was?  Is it because 
locations of people are not ever disclosed through owl travels?  I 
mean, couldn't someone just follow an owl to a wizard?  Or is that 
just how the owls in the wizarding world are magical - that they can 
find anyone, anywhere, no matter how well someone is hidden?

Any thoughts, anyone?
