Sax Zim area. Yesterday, in the rain, I sat in my car between the two feeders on Admiral Road and thought I was in Chickadee heaven. There were about 30 black capped Chickadees, flying in to get seeds and out, to perch on branches and eat the seeds. Add Red-breasted Nuthatches plus Downy and Hairy woodpeckers and I thought my day complete. Then a Boreal Chickadee flew to the suet feeder! It was a lifer for me! What a beautiful bird! Also there was a Northern Hawk Owl, on County Road 7 by Stone Lake Road.
On Stony River Forest Road in Lake County, I watched a male Ruffed Grouse, displaying for 3 females, also lifers. Stony was a white knuckle ride in my Toyota Camry, so I did not dare turning on to Whyte Road.
