It's not a snowy owl or black backed woodpecker, but I dare say I had the only yard in Minnesota yesterday with a Savannah sparrow (4th winter record for state?) and eastern towhee (and barred owl thrown in for accent). Unlike the SASP, the towhee does not seem cold stressed. Its biggest challenge to survival is avoiding the sharpie that frequents the neighborhood.
