Only twenty-nine species! It is a pretty short list for almost three full days of birding, but considering what species were seen, Michigan Audubon’s first tour to the Sax Zim Bog in Minnesota was an obvious success! The Sax Zim Bog has gained a lot of notoriety in the last few years for being an excellent spot to see wintering boreal species, including some of North America’s most haunting species- the northern owls. Species that normally take up space on birder’s “Top ten most wanted” lists are seen near annually here at the Sax Zim.
