Great Gray Owl

There are life birds and then there are Life Birds! I set out in search of Great Gray Owl in the famed Sax-Zim Bog in northern Minnesota on Thursday afternoon. My friend Jay met me in the Twin Cities and we drove due north into a landscape coated in 3-4 feet of snow. Everywhere I looked seemed like a postcard.

Friday morning at sunrise we were approaching the bog, a balmy -11F but no wind thank goodness.
