Spent the morning at Sax Zim Bog looking for great gray owls, and didn't see a one. I even took a little stuffed great gray owl with me for good luck, but it didn't help! So I saw three gray jays visiting a deer carcass. It was fun watching them. I was set up for chickadees and redpolls, which are much smaller than a gray jay, and had to back up for these. It was -10F there this morning but nice and sunny. There were three other photographers there, all Nikon shooters with big black lenses, from Detroit who flew in yesterday and are leaving Tuesday. They were pretty cool and I helped them out with some info about the area. You never know who you'll run into in the bog!
