The winter birds are beginning to arrive in Sax-Zim Bog. My visit this morning was to try and find some owls, and snow buntings. While the owls made themselves scarce, I did find plenty of snow buntings. However, they are so skittish that getting a photograph is extremely difficult. In addition, while looking skyward for owls I did capture this ruffed grouse.
