[mou] Sax Zim Bog...

[SCmzd at aol.com]

Had to go to Hibbing today so I took two trips through the sax zim  bog.  At 
stone lake road where the stone lake rd. runs close to the lake, I  observed 
approx. 300 RING NECKED ducks.  Other ducks seen in the bog  included BLUE 
WINGED TEAL, MALLARD, NORTHERN SHOVELER, BUFFLEHEAD, and HOODED  MERGANSERS.  I 
also observed three BROAD WINGED HAWKS, several KESTRELS,  two NORTHERN 
HARRIERS, BALD EAGLE, TURKEY VULTURE, and one ROUGH LEGGED  HAWK.  Saw two GRAY JAYS 
on Admiral Road.  Most interesting and  unexpected (for me anyway), a mixed 
flock of 20-30 GREATER and LESSER  YELLOWLEGS on Admiral road at the now flooded 
sandpit halfway down Admiral  road.  Also took some decent photos of a red 
phase RUFFED GROUSE.   Happy Birding, Shawn Zierman.
