This morning I drove through the Sax Zim Bog and watched a Great Gray Owl
catch a vole. It was right next to the road so I had a great view of the
action. The link below will take you to some photos.

I also stopped at the visitor center and watched the feeders for about a
half hour. There were lots of Black-capped Chickadees and Redpolls. Also a
few Nuthatches, Woodpeckers and Juncos but no Grosbeaks.
Other notable sightings in the bog today:
Sandhill Cranes (2 along 133 between Hwy 7 and Meadowlands)
Northern Harrier
Kestrel
Hooded Mergansers
Northern Shrike
Pileated Woodpecker
(Black-billed Magpie (2 at the intersection of Admiral Road and Zim Road)
