My show stopping experience today at Shiawassee NWR? I was driving up to the second spillway on the auto tour and immediately saw a completely albino Tree Swallow! I watched, mesmerized, for over five minutes before it flew out of sight with three other Tree Swallows. It seemed to fly in a graceful slow motion and, at one point, flew right overhead. Truly blessed and truly impressed! Craig Schafer reported it to me from July 9th and had forgotten about it until my sighting. Worth a drive just to see that bird!
