Hi everybody, While at Sax-Zim Bog on Sunday the 5th, Jen Olson, an Assistant Naturalist at Duluth's Hawk Ridge Bird Observatory and I saw the following birds:
4 Great Gray Owls 10 Hawk Owls 9 Pine Grosbeaks- 5 females & 2 males 3 Rough-Legged Hawks 3 Northern Shrikes 13 Snow Buntings 4 Bald Eagles- 3 Adults & 1 Sub-Adult 5 Gray Jays One of the Hawk Owls was perched 25 feet up in a tree on the left side of the road, flew directly in front of our parked truck, and landed on the very top of a highway sign, about 5 feet from our passenger window, allowing us to get a photo from the opened window! We were blessed with an extraordinary look at it at eye-level for several minutes, before it flew off. Good birding to you all...
