North Shore Audubon Society invites you to join NSAS Members *Peggy Maslow* and *Eric Titcomb* as they share stories and photos of their winter trips to Minnesota's *Sax-Zim Bog*.
This session will be presented *via Zoom on Tuesday, May 27th at 7pm. *Please use the following link to pre-register: https://bit.ly/3SrAlkp Minnesota’s Sax-Zim Bog’s 300 square miles is a “magic mix” of habitats that attracts a unique array of species not found in other parts of the U.S. The Sax-Zim Bog is prime habitat for bog specialists including the Great Gray Owl, Northern Hawk Owl, Boreal Chickadee, and Canada Jay. Grassland species like Northern Shrikes, Rough-legged Hawks, and Snowy Owls can be found during the winter. At the visitor center there are common redpoll, white-winged crossbills, boreal chickadees, red-breasted nuthatches, Canada jays, and pine siskins and mammals too. North Shore stalwarts, Peggy Maslow and Eric Titcomb, have each traveled to the frigid north to see the rare diversity of owls, boreal birds and mammals, and will regale us with details of their trips and photos. Eric Titcomb recently retired from a 44-year career working the stage elevators and main curtain at Radio City Music Hall. He got into birding and photography about 16 years ago when on a family trip out west. Eric says, “traveling to diff erent parts of the world with my wife Judy is my passion, and bird photography is the cherry on top.” Peggy Maslow retired after 25 years as a NYC school teacher. She started using a bridge camera 5 years ago to help with bird ID, but she soon decided she just loved taking bird photos. Peggy is a board member of North Shore Audubon, Chair of the Education committee and past President.
