Hi folks,

 

Reporting here from boring old Magee Marsh, feeling jealous and unwanted
due to the attention lavished on the Yoder residence in Holmes County!
Just kidding. I had a great time this morning with Sandy Britt and
Barbara Marbut, two birders from southern Illinois who are in town for
the Midwest Birding Symposium. We missed Chris Knoll, who was planning
on coming but was under the weather this morning. Here is what we saw in
