Birding, Botany and More!
Where: Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center – 8793 Owl Avenue, Toivola, MN 55765
When: Sunday January 9th, 2022 (9:00 a.m. to 2:00p.m.)
Leader: Clinton Nienhaus, Head Naturalist, Friends of Sax-Zim Bog
Come join Clinton Nienhaus, Head Naturalist with the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog, for a tour of Sax-Zim Bog. Snowshoes are a great way to continue being active during the winter season and are a great way to explore hard to get to locations in the Bog. Join us for a leisurely hike and learn a little bit about boreal forests and animal sign present during the winter. Many visitors to the Sax-Zim Bog in the winter season come to find the elusive Great Gray Owl. Others come for the more readily seen, bright, and vocal finches. This field trip will not only look for some of these bright winter visitors, such as Pine Grosbeak, Evening Grosbeak, Common Redpoll, and Crossbills, but we will take some time to learn about their ecology. Snowshoes are required and there are a few pairs that can be borrowed from the Welcome Center.
This trip is limited to 15 participants and you must be a MNNPS member to participate. To register for this field trip please contact:
