On Eichybush Road in Kinderhook, around noon, birding from our car we spotted a light rough-legged hawk perched in a tree at the side of the road (on a winding turn where we could not stop). As we drove further on to a straightaway where we could turn, a flock of about 50 snow buntings were feeding at the road's edge before flying into the adjacent field. A little further, a kestrel was perched on a telephone pole. When we returned to the rough-legged, it lifted off, showing a pale belly, so perhaps an adult male.
