I saw a flock of 7 Eastern Meadowlarks flying and landing in one of the fields on the north side of Mt Pleasant Rd (east end) on my walk earlier this morning. Later, a flock of 30-ish of what I'm going to call Horned Larks based on their calls.
And one female Evening Grosbeak was around the ash tree and under my feeder for a while 8:30 or so. Several of the Mt Pleasant fields were left unplanted this past summer and there are lots of weeds. That's a good sign for later this winter when the snow flies...weed seeds form an important food for Snow Buntings, pipits, longspurs and other field birds.
