FALL FORAY FOR FEATHERED FRIENDS Sax-Zim Bog Birding Field Trip sponsored by Friends of Sax-Zim Bog
Sunday, October 30, 2016 7:30am to Noon (or so...depending on weather) Leader: Sparky Stensaas We'll meet at the Welcome Center on Owl Avenue between 7:15 and 7:30am and carpool to sites throughout the Bog. We'll first try for Great Grays (TBH...a low chance of success) and then look for migrating sparrows, raptors, waterfowl and other late lingering birds. Maybe the first Pine Grosbeaks will have arrived from the Canadian North?? Snow Buntings? Rough-legged Hawks? Who knows what we'll find...Last year we had great looks at a Fisher! But we will have a good time no matter what. We carpool and bird from the roads...No off-road hiking on this field trip. Bring binoculars, camera, warm clothes, water, snacks/lunch. Temps are forecast to be a low of 37 and high of 51...But that can change. FREE to members who have donated $20 or more in the last 12 months. $20 for others (this includes a one-year membership and free attendance at other field trips) Please RSVP to natural...@saxzim.org to participate.
