Hi all! It was hard to make a good estimate as these birds were swirling and landing on both sides of the road as well as out in the fields. The recent thaws have uncovered some pretty good looking manure - likely spread in December. There were ~ 75 Horned Lark and a few Lapland Longspur as well. A few km. north I also saw 2 Rough-legged Hawks close to-gether at the extreme ends of the dark-light spectrum (dark one had just a narrow band of light, not white tips of tailfeathers - I spotted the light one first and thought 'Snowy'). Cheers! Maris Directions : A.C. is west of Hwy #4 and Hwy #7 (Elginfield Road) These birds were located on the first road west of Ailsa Craig - ~ 500M north(right) on Cassidy Rd (Mdsx.#21). The RLHawks were just north of the next road, before the 'S' bend at Windsor Rd. and on the right. Maris Apse 10094 Red Pine Road, Box 22, RR #2 Grand Bend ON N0M 1T0 (519) 238 - 8415
