A trip to Minnesota's the Arctic Riviera: the Sax-Zim Bog in northeast Minnesota.

The Sax-Zim Bog in northeast Minnesota is called the Arctic Riviera, where hundreds of birds winter, including the great gray owl and other raptors that come to feast on voles that thrive in the bog. The area draws thousands of photographers and birders annually from across the United States and other countries.
