I spent a couple of hours on Hayes Road, near Middlefield, mid day and saw a flock of just over 30 snow buntings. They were feeding on the weedy grasses in the snow covered fields. Also, 8 horned larks, usually perched on the fence posts and easy to see. No longspurs that I could locate. I managed to find two rough legged hawks, (one dark, one light phase) but they were never aloft. The only hawks that seemed to be flying today where the abundant red tails. Also, one kestrel.
