For owls that are superb.

From Isaac Polanski

I never thought l'd get a chance at a Burrowing Owl in Michigan. It's been 40 years since the last record, with only 3 other records in the state. Once the word was out that one was at Whitefish Point, I knew I had to go. While it was hunkered down throughout the day, at sunset it became active like most owls do. These were my closest looks at a Burrowing Owl anywhere!

Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick!

An even more appropriate response than normal, as this was quite unexpected!

Also, Stuart would have found this one as it is indeed in a tree.

It still does not explain what's going on with the soil...
