Take one nasty storm with 50 mph wind gusts and add one crazy photographer and what do you get? Blizzard birds! While most people would be inside on a day like today, I tried to deal with horrible photographic conditions and take a few photos. Tomorrow I plan on driving up to Sax-Zim Bog. The snow is supposed to end overnight with clearing skies around 6 am. I hope the end result will be ice / snow plastered trees. All the raptors including owls should be very hungry and hopefully hunting all day long with a backdrop of a deep blue sky.

Very happy that you are braving the elements to bring us all the rarer moments of my beloved north woods.
It was actually my second time out today. Had to watch the HUGE waves out on the big lake. Cool!
