Yesterday 2/2/09, Sax/Zim Bog: 2 Bald Eagles 1 Rough Legged Hawk, Cranberry Ln. 1 Northern Hawk Owl, 1/2 mile south of West Melrude Rd. off the West side of Hwy 53 at 4:00 PM. 2 Rough Grouse 1 Black Billed Magpie Several Ravens Several Crows 3 Black Backed Woodpeckers, all female, all on McDavitt Rd. 1 Three Toed Woodpecker, female, McDavitt Rd. Pine Grosbeaks, many more females and or young males, than adult males now. 10 White Winged Crossbills, Arkola Rd. 2 Boreal Chickadees, Arkola Rd. 100's of Common Redpolls, easily surpassing my own highest counts in the bog this winter. 30 Snow Buntings, Hwy 7. Gray Jays, Arkola Rd. and Admiral Rd. Lastly, in celebration of the fantastic winter redpoll event, I will be posting a picture a day of Common or Hoary Redpolls, for the remainder of March, in the Showcase Section of MOU. I have been enthralled with the experience of being able to observe so many redpolls for such a duration of time. I have become a bit redpoll obsessed and will surely miss them when they depart. Spring beckons.....:) Shawn Zierman. **************Worried about job security? Check out the 5 safest jobs in a recession.
