The flocks reported yesterday in fields northeast of Lancaster (about 20
minutes east of Cornwall) were present this evening. The birds were in
scattered flocks of hundreds to a few thousand with larger numbers of
5,000, 10,000 and 60,000. I had 140,000 total, spread out over numerous
fields of corn stubble. Many flocks were along concession #2 and #3
starting about 2 km east of Cty Rd 34 and continuing close to the Quebec
border. The largest flock was on Cty Rd 23 a few kms north of Curry Hill. I
only say Snows, with both Greater and Lesser present. Not that many blue
morphs and not large numbers of Canadas.
