Visitor Center Winter Hours:
Monday - Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm

*Your first stop should be the Visitor Center.  Here you can get the latest information, get answers to all your questions, and view the displays.  Browse the Bog Shoe Gift Shop which is always well-stocked with a large variety of wildlife-related items.  Also, take time to view the introductory, high-definition videos, all of which were revised with new footage and music.  Copies of the videos (DVD and high definition Blu-ray) are for sale at the gift shop.

John Menge's Birding Report for the week of January 9-15, 2012

 Despite the nice weather birding has been slow. Check feeders for Brown Creepers and woodpeckers. Look for Snow Buntings and Redpolls along roads as they look for grit and seeds.   A few Northern Shrikes and Rough-legged Hawks are present.

Following is a list of birds and mammals that have been seen by John during the week specified.
