Today Rick Hoyme and I birded through Waseca, Steele, Dodge, Goodhue, =
Rice, and Le Seuer Counties in hopes of finding Snow Buntings, Lapland =
Longspurs, and Horned Larks in each. Here are the results by county:
Waseca: flock of longspurs and buntings along CR 3 just south of =
Janesville.
Steele: flock of longspurs, larks, and buntings along CR 18 just south =
of Hwy. 14. We also found a flock of Purple Finches at the feeders in =
Rice Lake SP and a few Common Redpolls at a nearby feeder.
Dodge: flock of around 1,000 Snow Buntings! with a few longspurs mixed =
in along CR 20 a few miles west of Hwy 56.
Goodhue: flock of buntings and longspurs near the intersection of CR =
11 and CR 13.
Rice: small flock of longspurs and larks along CR 19 just east of its =
junction with CR 80.
Le Seuer: flock of longspurs along CR 136 just south of Hwy. 99. We =
also found a single Horned Lark north of here along CR 121.
