I escaped to the Bog this morning … sun was forecast before the blizzard hits NE Minnesota this evening. In addition, it was the only free time before kids and grandkids arrive (before the blizzard). I must have had a bit too much Christmas Cheer, as I forgot my new Canon SX70 camera and took the SX60 in its place. I was “bog bummed”!
Oh well … I had used the SX60 for four years. Thus, it was time for a last hurrah with an old friend. The sun finally arrived and I went searching for Boreal Chickadees. For the past two winters they have been a hard find. This birding season is different. The feeders out in the woods on Admiral Road were Boreal Chickadee heaven!
Tomorrow I will search for a Snowy in a Snowstorm! My eldest grandchild, who is nine, will be birding with me. We are looking forward to “Blizzard Birding”.

Yay! So glad to hear that the boreal chickadees are back at the Bog. I count any sighting of them as a blessing, and to be able to get a decent photo is really special. You did great with your old SX60.
