I took a chilly, fast walk up Salt Road in the Summer Hill SF this
morning. As expected, it was quiet. Nevertheless, I managed to tally
18 Chickadees, 8 Juncoes, and 6 Red-breasted Nuthatches. As I was
getting into the car, a large, dark bird flew across the road - at
least a half mile away. My thoughts were either Raven or Goshawk.
On the way home, I detoured east on Elm Street Ext and ran across a
flock of 64 Horned Larks dust-bathing (!) on a dirt driveway just past
the main farm buildings. No buntings or longspurs.
