Separate Winter 2010 gallery: Sax-Zim Bog Guided Trip for the M.O.U. (Minnesota Ornithologist's Union)

These photos were taken during a very fun and eventful trip that I led for the Minnesota Ornithologist's Union (M.O.U.), taking place at Sax-Zim Bog. Our day could not have ended on a sweeter note... seeing a Short-eared Owl and hearing a Great Gray Owl call in the distance :)
