I saw the bohemian waxing in Finland for the first time (it was in October). Then few days later, there was some at home in Reykjavík that I managed to see. These are my favorites birds, they are cute and their song is beautiful...

You had a good year in 2008 and it sounds like a 2009 is a good year to come. <BR/>I would love to try winter camping sometime but it would definitely have to be at least 20 degrees (above zero) for me too!<BR/>I'll take your January challenge too and give myself a goal of 50 birds--that will give me a reason to get out of the house when the weather's decent.<BR/>BTW, I'm pretty sure the owl in your video is a Barred Owl. Sometimes I hear them make that call when I'm out on the deerstand in the morning before it's light.RuthieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663411478574192825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-52399755467951055142009-01-03T16:42:00.000-05:002009-01-03T16:42:00.000-05:00I'm not sure I could handles the minus zero temps ...I'm not sure I could handles the minus zero temps alone at night in the woods but I really enjoyed reading your account of it.<BR/>thankstroutbirderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14087811292280881959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8147631697089273467.post-29565154420680015392009-01-03T11:03:00.000-05:002009-01-03T11:03:00.000-05:00Great post.

You gotta love the little whistle they have too. We usually see them in flocks during the months of January and February. How they love the crabapple tree just outside my kitchen window!<BR/><BR/>Glad it was you out there in the dark and not me. Loved the sound of the owl though.

I do like the video of the fire and Owl. No guesses on the species though, as my contact with owls has been limited to one silent Snowy Owl. I will have to see about the January bird count. It is -20 C here today.
