Saturday, the day before the official start of a spring, was a great day to be out in Sax Zim Bog. The morning started off with low level fog that burned off to leave a very short period of hoar frost followed by clear skies. Some of the many birds that I saw: Rough Legged Hawk, Magpies, Northern Hawk Owl, Black Backed Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker, Redpolls, Nuthatch, Black Capped Chickadee, American Crow, Raven, Canadian Geese, and Gray Jays. In addition to all the birds, got to meet a few of the local bird guides (Kim Risen, Erik Bruhnke) and ran into the Duluth Photography Institute field workshop group.
