I made another visit to the Sax-Zim bog today and had a pretty good day, despite the cold.
I saw a Northern Hawk Owl at the intersection of Sax and 7. This bird was very close to the road which enabled me to get some full frame pictures. Also on 7 near the Sax intersection was a flock of around 20 snow buntings. On 7 near the sod farm I spotted a northern shrike. At the feeders on Admiral there were gray jay, boreal chickadee, common redpoll, hoary redpoll and pine grossbeak. At the feeders on Owl Ave there was just red squirrels and chickadees. At the feeders at blue spruce there were common redpoll and evening grossbeak. and I also spotted a ruffed grouse in a tree on McDavett. No great gray owls on this trip and no black back or three-toed but it was still a very good day trip.
