Hi all,
Penny and I took a drive around this afternoon meandering down to Seed Rd
NW of Strathroy to look for Snowy Owl but finding only a couple of Rough-legged
Hawk and many small to medium sized flocks of Horned Lark and Snow Bunting(no
Longspurs).
We arrived at Marlborough ~ 1630 hrs, driving the 3 concessions S of Hwy#2
as far W as Springfield Rd. a couple of times concentrating on Hyndman Rd(the
middle one). We did run into a decent flock of Redpoll(~100 birds) along
Gentleman Rd feeding on Teasel but facing into the sun, had no chance of
finding any Hoary in the bunch.
Finally at 1745 Penny spotted a SEOW flying on the N side of Hyndman
close to Springfield which put on a great show, sometimes quite close and in
the red tinged sky for some 10 minutes. Mission accomplished!! Cheers! Maris
