I checked out the dairy farm on Weaver Road in Licking County. The flock of horned larks, snow buntings, lapland longspurs, and American pipits left the fields, but I located what is probably the same flock on Smoots Road, just west of SR 13 roaming the vast cornfields. The flock was very skittish, but settled near enough to identify the species. No big raptors in the area, but one kestrel was nearby, looking for lunch. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
