I thought 26 Snowies was a lot

Saturday the 17th and Sunday the 18th was the Michigan Audubon Society's winter birding in the Sault tour.
We started out in the Sault and headed out to the farm fields to find Snowy Owls and other open area birds. We had about 10 snowies before lunch. Here are a few of them     

There was a Bald Eagle eating a deer leg out in a field and the ravens wanted some venison too!

There were over 60 Snow Bunting in and around this tree!

After lunch we headed to Pickford and Rudyard to look for Snowies, Rough Legged Hawk, Northern Shrike and anything else that was of interest. The bulk of the Snowies and rough legs were around Pickford. There were about 20 Snowies! There was also a few Rough legs and a Shrike.

Our final Snowy Owl was in the parking lot of McDonalds! It was the 38th Snowy Owl for the day!

The next morning we went to the Sault power plant to look for waterbirds.

The power plant is on the left, the water and ice is the St. Mary's River and the land across the St. Mary's is Canada

There was nothing out of the ordinary other then a Merlin here but there was a Muskrat at the Sugar Island ferry dock a few miles to the right then where the above picture was taken. We then headed to the Dunbar feeding Station. We saw a snowy on the way. There were a few Pine Grosbeaks around and a few people in the group including myself saw a Northern Goshawk fly over the cars and out sight the day before at Dunbar. At the boat launch I spotted a canid far out on the ice. It was a Coyote. The day before at Dunbar we had one maybe two Hoary Redpolls with some Common Redpolls.

There was a Snowshoe hare farther down the road

We then checked a few fields and found another Snowy Owl.

A closer look thru binoculars showed this!

We then got lunch and headed to a feeding station in Kinross. 3 Male Pine Grosbeaks were the highlight along with a trio of American Tree Sparrows.

We then went to the Hulbert Bog in hopes of finding a Gray Jay. We weren't able to find a Gray Jay but there were some cooperative Black Capped Chickadees.
