[CT Birds] Station 43 today

[Mark Szantyr]

I spent about an hour on Ferry Road at Station 43 in South Windsor this 
afternoon sorting through the sparrows along a weedy edge to a cornfield 
about 1/2 way down the road.  There was a lot of activity including a large 
flock of Horned Larks with a few Snow Buntings mixed in, sparrows included: 
1 Swamp, 4 White-crowned, a Vesper, several Songs, several Savannahs, a few 
American Tree Sparrows, White-throated Sparrows, Dark-eyed Juncos and 
Northern Cardinals.  There was a large flock of Red-winged Blackbirds, and a 
sub-adult male Northern Harier and a male Cooper's Hawk keeping everybody 
on their toes.
