There was a nice flock of snow buntings and horned larks feeding in the manure spread over the field on Hayes Road in Middlefield this afternoon. I tried to pick through the flock looking for longspurs but didn’t find any. The snow blowing across the fields from the huge snow piles lining the road often obscured the flock, but inbetween gusts, I could see quite clearly. Only two rough legged hawks…both the stunning dark phase, flying together. (The best spot today was between Peters and Nauvoo.)
