I was out by the Oberlin Reservoir on West Rd. between 1-3PM. Lots of corn fields but the best was with fresh manure. From the intersection of Kipton-Nickle Plate Rd and West Rd., 1 mile south on West Rd--just past the farms on the east side. ( this was the best area ) Large mixed flock of Horned Larks/ Snow Buntings and 1 Lapland Longspur. Probably more flying further east. General vicinity: Horned Larks-200+ Snow Buntings-5 Lapland Longspur-1 Kestrels-3 Redtails-5 Tree sparrows Starlings Cardinal-1 This more than made up for such a gray day!
