Hi all, Twenty-three folks got a long lingering look at a very cooperative GREAT GRAY OWL along McDavitt at about 8:15 am. He/she was hunting from an old Tamarack snag on the west side for nearly a half hour. This is a resident bird that nests in the area...No sign of any Great Grays moving south from Canada yet. This was a grand lifer for a few folks. The photographers in the group also got some fantastic shots.
Also... Flock of about 90 Snow Buntings (Admiral Rd gravel pit) Hawk migration....Sharp-shinned, Red-tailed, several Bald Eagles Migrating swans including 2 Trumpeters on Stone Lake Gray Jay family along McDavitt Rough-legged Hawk at south end of Admiral 2 Ruffed Grouse on wooded curve on Stone Lk Road Lots of Pine Siskins Several flocks of migrating Rusty Blackbirds American Tree Sparrows, Juncos, Fox Sparrows at Welcome Center Purple Finches Next Friends of Sax-Zim Bog field trip will be on Sunday, Dec. 7th.
