| Horned lark |
Off to the black dirt farms again as we try for a few more winter birds before heading south. One of our most reliable spotters from the Mearns Birding Club has posted reports of Horned larks, Snow bubtings, aand other winter specialties on our Group Site. We are pretty sure that when Rob says you'll find the birds along Missionland Road in Pine Island, they'll be waiting for us when we arrive. Sure enough, the Horned larks are precisely where he said and we waste no time setting up the scope and getting out the camera.
We also had nice sightings of a White-throated sparrow, a majestic "Grey ghost" male harrier, American pipits, and Lapland longspurs. As the time for our departure for the sunshine state draws near, it is certainly nice to get these northern birds on this year's list before we leave.
