Along Concession 19 east of Casselman I found a single LAPLAND LONGSPUR foraging with at least 150 SNOW BUNTINGS in an exposed tilled field. The real highlight of the day was three SNOW GEESE flying high over the area, heading northeast. Is it too early to hope that spring might be on the way with snow geese already moving northward?
Good birding! Pat DIRECTIONS: From 417E, take exist 58 for Hwy 138. Turn left on 138, then turn right onto Concession 20 Road. Scan the fields here for flocks of snow buntings; horned larks and longspurs may be hiding in the larger flocks. _________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
