I took an impromptu trip up to Sax Zim today. While there I photgraphed gray jays, boreal chickadee, and redpoll at the deer carcass feeder on Admiral, a black backed woodpecker on McDavvit, bald eagle on a carcass near the Meadowlands, and a great gray owl on highway 7 1.6 miles north of Sax Road. I photographed the owl at around 4:40 on a telephone pole at the west side of the road. It flew into the woods behind the poll after I watched it for a few minutes. I ran into Kim Eckart's birding group shortly after and directed them to where I had seen the owl. During the day I also saw a northern hawk owl, where Kim had told me that they had seen it, on highway 7 just south of Sax Road but it was too far way across the field to get a picture. I also saw a black billed magpie and a brown creeper but was unable to get a pic. Pics will be up on the blog shortly.
