Finale'

Well, we were hoping to get to 700.  Didn't happen.  Dave, John, Blake & I started out Saturday morning on Amy's, hoping to catch a raft of birds that were feeding there the morning before.  Didn't happen, but we did manage to bag a single specklebelly goose flying by.  As fate would have it, that would be the last bird of the season.  John & I went back to Chuck's Sunday morning and again with Dave & Blake on Sunday afternoon, but there just weren't any birds to be had.  It was, as depicted below, however, a beautiful sunset on an excellent season.  We simply couldn't have asked for anything more. 

Sunday:  Chuck's.  Skunk.  No love.

Saturday:  Amy's.  1 Specklebelly
