Winter Bird Trip #2 - Snowy Owl Prowl

Our birding today will find us heading north into the Thumb region as we search the open farmland for Snowy Owls. We’ll continue on to Fish Point State Wildlife Area to see if the late winter influx of Tundra Swans, Canada Geese, and (possibly) Snow Geese has begun. Other possible birds of the open “tundra” of this area include Northern Shrike, Rough-legged Hawk, Northern Harrier, Merlin, Snow Bunting, and Horned Lark. Be sure to dress for the weather. We’ll plan on having lunch in the Thumb before returning to the nature center, so pack your own or come prepared to purchase a lunch. This is a car pool trip – meet at the nature center
