This afternoon Linda and I were guests of Mike Jordan at his home in Delaware County. Both Mike and I volunteer at the Preservation Parks of Delaware County. Mike has been putting out seed for the birds with great success. Linda and I enjoyed up close viewing of Lapland Longspurs, Snow Buntings, Horned Larks and American Tree Sparrows. A conservative estimate of the numbers is close to 1,000 Lapland Longspurs, 100 to 150 Snow Buntings, and 200+ Horned Larks, 100 to 150 American Tree Sparrows, 2 Northern Harriers (1male, 1 female) and 1 juvenile White - crowned Sparrow. Most of the activity was seen from Mike’s home and the remainder during a drive around the nearby roads. The birds were along Malory Road in Delaware County. Big thanks to Mike for his hospitality.
