I did some birding in the Sax Zim bog area before I headed over to =
Byrnes Greenhouse to buy a plum tree and a ornamental crab tree for my =
yard.
The bogs along Owl avenue and along Co. Rd. 52 produced no Palm =
Warblers, 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers, one Grey Jay, and a White-throated =
Sparrow! I have never seen a area so quiet that is usually filled with =
Nashville's, Palm, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and ect.. ZIPPO!
I did managed to find a Sharp-tail Grouse at the lek on the south side =
of 207 (Stickney) and 52 (Arkola).
Also there is some construction along Owl Avenue. St. Louis County =
workers are stripping the brush and digging out the ditches on the west =
side of Owl Avenue between the crook of Owl Ave. & 52. They are also =
doing the same thing along 52. I don't know if this is maintenance to =
keep the water moving and off the road since the ditches were almost =
level to the road surface or if possible this is the start of removing =
peat from the bog? Since there is plant not to far from Meadowlands. =
Who knows but each year the Sax Zim area is changing and losing its =
look.
