Sax - Zim Bog |  | Description: This area of a dozen townships in St. Louis County crisscrossed by several county and township roads, includes a mixture of state, county, private land.
The extensive areas of sedge and hay meadows interspersed with brush and shrub land, peatland forest and upland woodland make for some excellent birding. | |
Wildlife to Watch: This area is best known for its northern owls, winter finches and rough-legged hawk in the winter. In the spring and summer, it is a good area to look for birds associated with open habitat such as yellow rail, sandhill crane, LeConte’s sparrow and sharp-tailed grouse.
Peatlands and lowland conifer forest harbor many boreal birds such as Connecticut warbler, boreal chickadee, gray jay, magnolia warbler, Canada warbler, Palm Warbler and Cape May Warbler.
Occasionally other rare wildlife can be spotted including timber wolf, black bear, moose, beaver and pine marten. |
Special Tips: Come in Winter for northern owls and winter finches; Spring-early summer for migrating songbirds. |
