Minnesota in winter is not for the faint of heart…
…but oh the birds! Snowy Owl…
…Great Gray Owl…
…and Northern Hawk Owl are almost regular…
…Northern Saw-whet Owl is occasional…
…and every few years we even find a Boreal Owl.
We drive lots of back roads looking for… (pb)
…Spruce Grouse…
…Bohemian Waxwing…
…Boreal Chickadee…
…Pine Grosbeak…
…and Black-backed and, less frequently…
… American Three-toed Woodpeckers.
We’ll visit feeders to sort through Common Redpolls…
…in search of a Hoary.
There are always surprises like a group of Harlequin Ducks… (pb)
…or a Gray Wolf on the road.
Who says winter can’t be fun?
