Given the paucity of Rough-legged Hawk sightings, at least locally, I was
surprised to find 2, one just south of Purvis Rd (south of Dryden) and the
other in the fields along Creamery Rd. I didn't see the one at Goetchius,
though I looked. From Cornell Lane, I spied a large flock of birds on the
road south, working some freshly spread manure, drove around to Daisy
Hollow Rd, and the flock was just to the south, nearly all Horned Larks but
with a couple Snow Buntings and Lapland Longspurs mixed in. From the
Dryden area, I decided to heard north and west, driving through the dairies
(not much there) and ending up at Milliken Station BRRRRRRRRR, Lots of
Mallards and Canada Geese, but the lake was choppy and I was being blasted
by the wind off the lake, needless to say, I headed back south to "warmer
climes".
Cheers,
Jeff
