I'm still picking sand out of my teeth from yesterday, but today made up for it. Among the many bird stories we could tell from the last two days the finale Sunday evening was amazing.

Three Short-eared Owls were out well before dark and drifting by effortlessly near the Swanson-Laketon intersection, some within 15 feet. I have some nice shots of one in the field, but trying to get a point-and-shot camera to focus on a bird in the air is nearly impossible. Glenda Eikenberry took the attached photo, not me.

Also, Phil Vreeman joined us and said there were 5 Ross's or Ross's x Snow Geese hybrid on the central dike at the Wastewater. We missed those, but we had gone down to Allegan county for the big show Saturday morning. (See Caleb Putnam's report on Mich-Lister's.)
