Winter Birding in “the Sault” 
Saturday and Sunday, January 17-18, 2009 
Leaders: Lathe Claflin and Mike Sefton 
  
WPBO has sponsored these winter field trips in the Sault Ste Marie area for over 13 years.   Winter in the Upper Peninsula is truly a unique experience and birding can vary considerably from year to year.  Regularly occurring winter birds may include Bald Eagle, Rough-legged Hawk, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Snowy Owl, Northern Shrike, Common Raven, Snow Bunting and Pine Siskin.  In some years, irruptive and uncommon species such as Northern Goshawk, Gyrfalcon, Northern Hawk-Owl, Great Gray Owls, Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee, Bohemian Waxwing, Pine Grosbeak, both Crossbills, Common and Hoary Redpoll and Evening Grosbeak may be present. 
  
The trip runs all day on Saturday and ends mid-day on Sunday and begin and end in Sault Ste. Marie. 
  
Should this trip be over-subscribed, we will consider a second trip in mid-February. 
  
Trip cost:  $60/person for WPBO members, $75/person for non-members.
