As reported by Terry Osborne yesterday, there were at least two Lapland Longspurs mixed in with the Horned Larks and Snow Buntings on Heritage Road. They were easily viewed at 4-5:00 within 20 feet from the road with binoculars from our car. Did'nt even get the scope out.
The manure is a little covered by blowing snow, but the birds are working it hard. One of the Longspurs had stronger markings than the other two I believe I saw within seconds of each. Directions: from the 401 go north on Mississauga Rd. past hwy 7, left (west) on Mayfield Rd., then rigtht (north) on Heritage Rd., for just a little over a km. The field with the manure is on the west side. Ken and Angie Williams 83 Edinburgh Avenue Hamilton, Ontario, L8H 2C6 905 547 8580 "A & K Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
