How We Found Wintering Owls in Minnesota’s Wonderland, the Sax-Zim Bog

The best time to visit Minnesota is in the winter for a wonderland of Arctic and resident birds and hardy wildlife! We explored the Sax Zim Bog and beyond to find Long-eared owls, Saw-whet owls, Snowy Owls, Hawk owls and more!

Finding Snowy Owls in New York State!

Updated 2021. Only three hours from Manhattan, snowy owls, endangered short-eared owl, and a host of hawks winter in small town Fort Edward, New York. New York’s Washington County Grasslands are an Audubon listed IBA (Important Bird Area), a great weekend wildlife photography, birdwatching escape. and one of my favorite places in New York State.
