There haven't been many longspurs in Durham County this winter so I thought I would post this. Charmaine Anderson found these birds yesterday afternoon.
Relocated them myself yesterday as the sun went down, returned this morning with my scope to confirm. Bruce Aitkins stopped by for a look as well. Yesterday afternoon at 5:30 PM there were 20+ Horned Lark, 20+ Snow bunting, 2 Lapland Longspur. This morning at 9:30 AM 50+ Horned Lark, 1 Snow Bunting, 2 or 3 Lapland Longspur. Harmony has an interchange with the 401 at east end of Oshawa, proceed north on Harmony to Conlin (northern edge of new subdivision development along Harmony), birds in the stubble field on NE corner, often in front of large hay bale in front of farm buildings, often scattered through fields on both E and W sides of road, sometimes on shoulder of Harmony Rd.
