Sax-Zim Bog with Sparky Stensaas

Sax-Zim Bog in Minnesota is a fascinating birding spot that is great for winter exploration.  But be aware, it is COLD and takes a bit of effort to find those birds.  Sparky, executive director of Friends of Sax-Zim Bog, joined us to discuss the bog and how to bird there.
