Re: [Ontbirds] Smith's Longspur - Long Point

2017-01-01 Thread Jeremy Bensette 
About 25 minutes ago the Smith's Longspur flew up and did a big lap around the 
area it's been hanging out at before landing in a corn stubble field about 200m 
south of Concession A Rd near Port Rowan in Norfolk County. There were still a 
few people there when I left so hopefully someone can repost if it comes back 
to the road. 

Refer to Cheryl's directions below in the forwarded email. 

Good birding!

Northern Harriers kept it wary.  It was first seen and heard with its rattle

observers.  Seed has been buried in the snow by the passing plow so it may
not be at the side of the road collecting seed, there is some now out on the
sidelines.  It seems comfortable with passing cars and people, look
carefully at the grass at the side of the road it really blends in, best

The A Concession Rd is the road north of Lakeshore Rd and only runs west off
