[mou] Numbers day

[Pastor Al Schirmacher]

* 800+ Trumpeter Swans, Monticello

* 250 Cedar & Bohemian Waxwings, Ann Lake (more Cedars, but Bohemian numbers 
have dramatically increased)

* Few Cackling Geese mixed in with the Canada Geese, Monticello.  Single 
Coot looked cold & lonely (let's anthropomorphize together).

* 34 Turkeys (six in tree around noon), 46 Pheasants scattered throughout 
area

* May have had a distant look at the Solitaire's, Ann Lake - color, flight 
pattern looked right, but further investigation only turned up a Shrike 
(suspicious!)

Good birding to all.
