SAX-ZIM BOG Friday April 26th
Glorious day in the bog...with a mix of winter birds and newly-arrived migrants. Thigh-deep to knee-deep snow back in the bogs but meadows and fields are opening up. Lakes still frozen but small streams open. WINTER BIRDS 1 Rough-legged Hawk 1 N Shrike flock of Common Redpolls MIGRANTS Fox Sparrows (common at Owl Avenue feeder site) BREEDING SPECIES Juncos, Killdeer, Wood Ducks, Kestrel, Tree Swallows Golden-crowned Kinglets, Purple Finches, and Brown Creepers were all singing.
