Friday afternoon I spent time in the Interlaken area looking for Short-eared Owls. While I wasn't successful finding them there was a spectacular late afternoon Snow Goose flight. Canadas and Snows had been moving all afternoon in small groups, but by dusk the numbers really picked up. By the time I moved from my spot for a change of scene I had counted 11,500 Snow Geese and 3500 Canadas. Many more skeins of Goose sp. were distant on both horizons and aren't reflected in these numbers. I also had my first of the season Rough-legged Hawk. It was a beautiful afternoon Owls or no.
