More Snowy Owl

Thanksgiving 2011

Dinner with the family will be on Saturday so today it was just the 4 of us. I smoked a turkey breast, it turned  out great, added all the trimmings and while John, Toughy and Babe were happily resting after dinner, I went out for a quick birding trip to see the snowy owl Rick and Nancy had seen earlier in the day. It was beautiful so I am sharing it with you.

A day of beautiful birds and a beautiful sunset at the Muskegon Wastewater site.

 

Short eared owls, mallards, seagulls, European starlings, and a pretty sunset.   

A day of Seagulls

 

The wind seemed to keep the Gulls aloft without flying.

The winds and waves seem to make looking for lunch a real challenge.

 

Finally a catch but not a very good lunch. 

Those fall colored leaves must look like fish from the air.
