Getting a glimpse of the breathtaking landscape of

Getting a glimpse of the breathtaking landscape of Lake Superior, especially in winter was another reason we drove all the way from Ottawa Ontario to Sax-Zim Bog, MN. Luckily, we arrived at the last public access point minutes before sunset on the way back home.

Spruce grouse, a lifer for me! I asked staff at the Sax-Zim Bog welcome center where to find spruce grouse and was told that Sax-Zim Bog does not really have the best habitat for them. Canada would be a better place. Ironically, in recent years I have been searching for spruce grouse every time when I visited the Algonquin provincial park, but had no luck.

I was driving slowly along McDavitt Road searching for great gray owls. Another slow moving car from the opposite direction stopped beside me, window rolled down. To my surprise, instead of just greeting each other, he told me there's a GGO half mile ahead sitting atop a dead tree on the left side of the road. Sure enough, I was able to locate the bird. All the birders I met at Sax-Zim bog were super friendly. They offer sighting information to each other! Amazing.

Pine grosbeak is one of the prettiest finches. I was amazed by the abundance of them at the Sax-Zim Bog.

I was watching the winter finches at the Arkola Rd feeders in the car. All of the sudden all the little birds stopped singing. This barred owl swoop down from no where, landed on the perch right in from of me. #ottawaphotographer #cangeo #opcmagazine #natgeo #natgeowildlifephotography #rebels_united #canoncanada #nuts_about_birds #rebels_nature #feather_perfection #canonphoto #your_best_birds #best_birds_of_ig #netgeoyourshot #saxzimbog #exploreminnesota

When dusk fell, the Great gray owl would stop at its favourite perch before heading to the open field hunting for prey.

Phantom of the North.
It was almost exactly one hour after sunset, the great gray owl came down from a high perch and landed on an eye-level branch.
The background was so dark making it almost impossible to spot the owl.
I amazed that the camera could still focus. With ISO4000, 1/5" shutter speed and light wind, 99% of the shots go directly to trash bin, this one is a rare keeper. No artificial lighting was used. #ottawaphotographer #ottawaphoto #ottawa_instaphoto #ImageofCanada #DiscoverON #cangeo
