While out today along the North Shore of Lake Superior as well as birding in Sax-Zim Bog, a push of mid-winter specialties continues provide great looks. The two birders I was guiding around today were thrilled to see their lifer Boreal Owl! Hoary Redpolls and Pine Grosbeaks continue to be seen regularly throughout most of the Sax-Zim Bog feeders, and the Admiral Road birdfeeders have the Boreal Chickadees returning on a regular basis.One Northern Shrike was seen in Sax-Zim Bog today by my group. Hoary Redpolls and Pine Grosbeaks continue to be seen regularly throughout most of the Sax-Zim Bog feeders, and the Admiral Road birdfeeders have the Boreal Chickadees returning on a regular basis. Below are two photos, taken earlier from today's birding trip.

There is a beautiful snowstorm on the way, but it sounds like roads could be iffy!
