Hi all!
Yesterday - Feb 10 - I drove my usual route 'round the block' and was
surprised to find a Savannah Sparrow with about 30 Horned Larks and a couple
of Snow Buntings on Klondyke Road on the north side, just east of the
cemetery. On Tuesday Feb 7, there was a Lapland Longspur here, so I thought
it was this bird again, but was glad to get a second look - these birds were
moving around constantly.
There are often 1 or 2 Rough-legged Hawks and 3/4 Wild Turkeys
further down the road, along with flocks of Horned Larks, Tree Sparrows and
Dark-eyed Juncos.
Cheers! Maris
Directions: Klondyke Road runs east off Hwy #21 about 4 km. south of GB( it
turns south to Greenway Road after about 1 km). Turning left at Greenway
will bring you to Mollard Line, where there are often good flocks of field
birds and if you continue on it , you will arrive at County Road #81, just
east of GB ('round the block').
