Thank goodness. I was going crazy trying to figure out what kind of bird a KOWA was.

Hi NEBirders,
On our outing today to admire the glorious Glaucous Gull found by Tobin B. yesterday, we came across what looked like a lens cap that said "Kowa" laying on the trail that leads south along the east edge of the trees not far south of where the trails split at the bottom of the hill. After some discussion, we decided leaving it on the path in the wheel track on some straw-colored grass would give it the best chance of being seen and reunited with its owner.
