Great time to get up to the Sax-Zim Bog. All the breeding specialties are present and on territory including Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, Sedge Wren, Sandhill Crane, Connecticut Warblers, Lincoln's Sparrows, Black-billed Magpie, Sharp-tailed Grouse, and Great Gray Owl.
Also heard was a surprising Western Meadowlark in the hayfield south of CR52/Arkola and just east of Stickney Road (Sharp-tailed Grouse on a fencepost here too). This is also the field where Upland Sandpipers are frequently heard and seen. The Great Gray Owl was hunting along McDavitt at 9am...So probably has a nest of hungry owlets back in the bog.
