Sax Zim Bog at Twilight

Contrary to what is suggested in the movie "The Big Year" the Sax Zim Bog is not the best place in Minnesota to see a snowy owl. You would probably have much better luck trying the Duluth airport or even the International Airport in the Twin Cities. Sax Zim is one of the best places in Minnesota to spot our tallest owl, the great gray. These birds are primarily crepuscular so if you want a chance to see one in the wild the best time to look is at dusk, when this pic was taken, or dawn.
