Definitely one of the best birding days for me in a long time! An early start
from the cities got us to the bog a little after 7:20 am. We saw our two
target owl species in the first 45 minutes in the area.
NORTHERN HAWK OWLS (3) : .25 mi W of Hwy 7 on 133, 1424 MacDavitt .5 mi North
of Sax Rd., East Stone Lake Rd. past the lake.
GREAT GRAY OWLS (4): 2 on 133 between Hwy 7 and Owl Ave. one .5 miles E of
Blue Spruce Rd., one by Ted Forsberg Hunting Shack Adopt-a-highway sign, 1 on
MacDavitt about 1/2 way to Zim Rd., a very mellow-easy to observe GGOW next to
Tom's Logging Camp on the Northshore Dr.
MAGPIE (1): on Arkola east of Peary Rd.
NORTHERN SHRIKES (2): Including one on Hwy 7
GRAY JAYS-lots including about 7 on East Stone Lake Rd. in two groups
COMMON RED-POLLS: TONS on East Stone Lake Rd.
SNOW BUNTINGS: A flock along Hwy 7
ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS, BALD EAGLES, NORTHERN HARRIERS etc...
What a GREAT day! Good luck owling everyone!
