Snowy Owl and Ravens Highlight Sax-Zim Bog Birding Trip
Rick Hollis recalls a January expedition to Sax-Zim Bog in northern Minnesota with Iowa birders. Despite minus 30 degree temps and three feet of snow, 40 participants spotted 35 species including snowy owl, northern hawk owl, great gray owl, gray jay, black billed magpie and several grosbeak varieties. The group enjoyed life birds and humorous moments as ravens mobbed a snowy owl while nesting activity unfolded under bright winter sun.
