I spent five hours in the Bog yesterday. While none of the juvenile Great Great Owls were kind enough to show themselves when I arrived at sunrise, once the sun was over the horizon the Broad-Winged Hawks were present in force. These birds along with Northern Flickers, Blue Jays and warblers were migrating in force yesterday. The weather was perfect … little wind and nice sun after the morning ground fog burned off. Fall is one of my favorite times of year in Sax-Zim Bog … no bugs and different birds due to migration each trip.
