Saturday January 30th my dad and I spent the day in the eastern U.P. Highlights were a single Snowy Owl and 4 Sharp Tailed Grouse both in Pickford along with many winter finches. A Red-Bellied Woodpecker and an American Robin were two of the most unexpected Birds of the day at the Dunbar feeders. A flyover White-Winged Crossbill was the only bird at WPBO. We started the day in Pickford and ended at the Whitefish Point Bird Observatory (WPBO). 

January 9th and 10th I went to Duluth, Minnesota to look for the Ivory gull that was being seen there. We also went to the Sax-Zim Bog in the afternoon on the 9th and all day on the 10th. Here are some photos.
