Join us this winter for a couple of winter birding field trips. The intention of these field trips is to give you an introduction on how to approach birding in the Sax-Zim Bog in the winter months. We will not be targeting owls, but will take a look at any we come across. This is a good field trip to attend, especially if you hope to learn more about how to approach winter birding in the vast Sax-Zim Bog.
Dragonflies and damselflies are an easily seen group of bugs and recently have become targets of cameras and nets!
“Dragonflying” is becoming a popular hobby across the US and northern Minnesota has incredible odonate diversity. In the Sax-Zim Bog alone, we have documented 87 species of dragonfly and damselfly!

During the winter Friends of Sax-Zim Bog acquired a property along Owl Avenue and Correction Line Road!
This yet to be named property is 120 acres and has mostly been unexplored by visitors to the Sax-Zim Bog.
There is a great stand of black spruce and tamarack on the northern reaches of the property, with a wet meadow on the south side. With habitat diversity like this, we should expect some interesting species! Join us on this field trip to take a close look at this exciting new property and expect the unexpected.
