This morning, at 7:45, I discovered a seasonally-challenged white-phase Snow
Goose at Maumee Bay State Park near Toledo. It was wandering around the
grass and sand near the inland lake (which is near the main beach area). I
watched and photographed it for a while, then switched my attention to a nearby
flock of gulls and terns. When I turned back to look for the goose a few minutes
later, it had disappeared.
The boardwalk at Magee Marsh was very quiet, with the only highlight being a
Prothonotary Warbler. A Solitary Sandpiper was nabbing insects from a large
puddle in the parking lot.
I posted a picture of the Snow Goose on the umich photo-sharing site:
