Didn't mean to omit the county.
If anybody heads out this way, do keep in mind that this is an Amish neighborhood. I know some people get indignant when matters of birding etiquette are brought up, but be aware of yourselves by making sure to stop between houses where optic aiming is unmistakably into the fields beyond.

>> Was a good morning on Hayes "Hawk Alley" Road in Middlefield Twp. between Nauvoo Road and Peters Road - usually the best stretch from my experience. Off to a good start with a pearly gray adult male harrier soon followed by two light-phase rough-legged hawks. Then it was two more light phase including the most light-headed adult female I've seen and a young dark phase - all in tree line between fields. The last rough leg was a beautiful light phase that put on a great hovering display. Also had a pair of red-tailed hawks along this stretch. On Bundysburg Road, the next road over to the east, picked up another pair of red-tails and a male kestrel hovering. Add 3 red-tails on Burton-Windsor Road east of Rt. 528 and the morning's total came to 6 rough-legs, 7 red-tails, a harrier and a kestrel.
