100s of Horned Larks and Snow Buntings and at least 2 Lapland Longspurs in
this field at 10:20 am today. A red- tailed hawk occasionally comes by and
scatters all these birds and the 100 or so crows. But the birds come back.

LAPLAND LONGSPUR continues NW of Dixon Ledyard Rds.
West of NY Rt 34B.
Was difficult to locate among the many HORNED LARKS lesser #s of SNOW
BUNTINGS. I finally saw it: it came onto road w a few H LARKS I got a great
look in scope for about 2 minutes, then they flew into the field again.
Re the pheasant sighting...
DEC only releases male pheasants in that part of the state as natural
reproduction of pheasants does occur here. Hence, females are not legal game
around central New York.
So, theoretically at least, any female in Cayuga County should be a naturally
hatched bird.
On Ledyard Road just west of Dixon Road. In with a flock of Horned Larks on
side of the road. Super looks!
Good birding,
Ann

exposed corn among stubble close to Ledyard Rd, and scores of HORNED LARKS were
easy to see. We initially saw the LAPLAND LONGSPUR with a few of the larks on
the road shoulder, but when they moved north into the field to
Bill Howard and I relocated the Lapland Longspur that was reported yesterday by
Jeff Gerbracht. The bird was on Daisy Hollow Road this morning at the Cornell
Farms. We finally spotted the bird at 11:00 AM. The longspur was in with
dozens of Horned Larks and at least one Snow Bunting. As
