Snowy Owl, Mason County

  Dave Dister left a message on my phone about 11 Ross's Geese initially found by Linda Scribner in Free Soil Twp, Mason County.  By the time I arrived at the location on US-31 the only geese at the location were Canadas, but a Snowy Owl was a nice consolation prize. 

   I later refound the Rosss' a couple of miles south on Fountain Rd they were too far out in a field to even get an ID photo.  Here the consolation birds were Rough-legged Hawks.
