Hi Birders, I just came in from watching a LARK SPARROW singing away in one of our fields. The bird was singing and feeding in last years corn field at the south end of our property, in the center of the field. I last saw it fly up through the trees bordering the western edge of the field. If it sticks around in the coming days I will re-post its status.
Today there was also a Lincoln's Sparrow and Black-billed Cuckoo in the ravine where the stream goes under the road, and yesterday a CLAY-COLOURED SPARROW in the scrubby field south of the house near the big sandhill. Good birding! Matt Timpf Walsingham, ON Directions: Our farm can be reached by following Regional Road 60 west from the intersection of Hwy 59 & Hwy 24 (Hwy 24 becomes RR 60 west of that intersection). Our farm is a few km down the road on your left, on the West Quarter Line Road. Follow the gravel road south to the southernmost field on your right (last years corn field) to listen for the sparrow. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
