I traveled five hours to see one of these that had shown up in Illinois. Never saw it, but the 1 million snow geese in the Illinois River made up for it. #birds #Illinoisbirding

They say today's #BirdOfTheDay today is any bird with #raisedwings so I had to throw in my favorite Turkey Vulture picture. I spotted these two drying their wings in the sun at the Lost Mound National Wildlife Refuge.
