Nice large flock on Lake Ridge Road, just north of the county line, near the
machine shed. About 8:15 am. I would appreciate advice on how to pick out
longspurs.

Hi all,
Sorry this is a little late. I saw a merlin on a telephone pole yesterday
on the north side of Stevenson Rd just west of the intersection with Turkey
Hill. It turned its head 180 degrees to check me out and then flew north
along the hedgerow.
Cheers!

Linda raised a really good question: How to pick out Longspurs? I've done this a few times, and I'll share my ideas, but I think others' insights might be helpful, too.First of all, forget the name. You'll hardly see the feet, let alone the hind toe, and the chances of seeing the long claw on it
