It was a great day birding on the country roads today. I got 4 American Kestrels, an illusive bird for me for this month. On the corner of Rosedale and Finley-Guy roads it was a big flock of Horned Larks and Lapland Longspurs. On Homer rd., that runs between OH-161 and OH-4, I found a flock of Horned Larks, American Pipits and 2 Snow Buntings. On the corn field at Connor rd. (off OH-4) it was a huge mixed flock of European Starlings, Common Grackles, Brown-headed Cowbirds, Red-winged Blackbirds, Rusty Blackbirds, 2 Brewer's Blackbirds (my suspect, took the pictures), Morning Doves, and House Sparrows. On my way back it was 5 female Ring-necked Pheasants right at the edge of OH-4.
