I birded Sax-Zim Bog today to lead a birding trip and to participate in the Brrrrdathon fundraiser for Friends of Sax-Zim Bog. Had some great times hiking through the bog trails, and birding throughout the lightly falling snow. Saw a Great Gray Owl, Northern Hawk Owl, Gray Jays, a Boreal Chickadee, SO MANY Black-capped Chickadees, and more. Had a great time leading a birding trip and birding for a good cause, to help raise funds for Friends of Sax-Zim Bog. eBird list from today's visit to the bog is below: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S16326392
Here is a Great Gray Owl from today in Sax-Zim Bog, non-baited of course (I will never bait owls). We got to watch this bird for nearly twenty minutes! http://www.pbase.com/image/154088978 Yesterday afternoon I found an adult male Harlequin Duck on the north side of the Silver Bay marina. We had great looks at many flocks of Pine Grosbeaks and American Goldfinches throughout Highway 1 and Highway 2, and ended the day with a Snowy Owl in Duluth. Here is a photo of the Harlequin Duck. http://www.pbase.com/birdfedr/image/154088971 Found a moose yesterday too! http://www.pbase.com/image/154088972 Excited for another day of birding and fundraising for Friends of Sax-Zim Bog. Tomorrow is the last day of the Brrrrdathon.
