Bill Howard and I relocated the Lapland Longspur that was reported yesterday by Jeff Gerbracht. The bird was on Daisy Hollow Road this morning at the Cornell Farms. We finally spotted the bird at 11:00 AM. The longspur was in with dozens of Horned Larks and at least one Snow Bunting. As expected, the birds were feeding in the manure spreads that run perpendicular to the road.
Patrick reported a Merlin in the area but we dipped on this species.
