Last week I showed you some Pine Grosbeaks that I saw in the Sax-Zim Bog.  Here are some of the other birds from that trip.  This is a Boreal Chickadee, much less common in Minnesota than the Black-capped Chickadee.  Boreal Chickadees are year-round residents across Canada and Alaska in the coniferous forests.  Their range just barely dips below the Canadian border in a few places and we are lucky to have them. This bird was coming to one of the feeders set up to attract winter birds in the Sax-Zim Bog.
