This past Saturday, I left the house at 5am, and went birdwatching with my good friend Laura Erickson all day long. We were birdwatching all day for the Brrrrdathon, and saw some (and heard) some incredible and beautiful birds! It's a superb event, to raise funds and awareness for the small but birdwatcher-renowned Sax-Zim Bog near Cotton, MN. The first link below has more information regarding this fun event http://www.birdnation.org/brrrrdathon/
