Virtually Live 4 Birding Field Trip to Sax-Zim Bog May 4, 2020
The day starts out promising with sunny skies, calm winds and a very cooperative drake Wood Duck, and then it gets even better with some RARE BIRDS for Sax-Zim: the Meadowlark of the prairies, a sparrow not normally found in northeast Minnesota, a surprising warbler on territory, and a pair of grassland-loving shorebirds (Thanks to FOSZB Head Naturalist Clinton and his eagle-eyed wife Kristina!). A very FAT and cooperative “quill pig” is the “Superstar Mammal of the Day,” but what will be the Superstar Bird? Stick around for the surprise procreative ending to Sparky’s Virtually Live field trip!

Sparky, thank you so much for these excellent and (fun music!) field trips. We have only been to Zax Zim once and are members, so we are seeing it through the eyes of an expert, which we certainly are not! Can’t wait til next time:) Deb and Mark Thurlo
