Had a light phase Rough-legged Hawk at Calverton this afternoon, initially post hunting but later soaring over the grassland. It was visible from Rt25 just West of Parker Road (I did not go in to the airfield).
At Hulce Landing Road there were 191 Horned Larks (and nothing with them as far as I could see). The sparrow flocks at the North end of the road were mostly in the brussels sprouts field so I couldn't get too close but I did see 1 Vesper and 1 White-crowned Sparrow (among many White-throated and Song Sparrows and a few Dark-eyed Juncos) as they moved around.
