Hello:
Spent a few hours birding around the Sleepy Eye area this afternoon. As =
others have recently posted, there have been a lot of Snow Buntings, =
Horned Larks and Lapland Longspurs up along the roadsides since the snow =
has returned. Today the predominant birds were Horned Larks (they were =
very common) with just a few Snow Buntings and Lapland Longspurs mixed =
in. The largest flock I spotted was sixty five Horned Larks.
Saw two coveys of Gray Partridge which totaled twenty birds. Also seen =
were two Rough-legged Hawks, which were perched on telephone poles only =
a hundred yards apart from each other.
Today I spoke with Ron Wels, the property owner that discovered the =
Tufted Titmouse near New Ulm last October. I hadn't spoken with them =
for over a month and he told me that the Titmouse is still coming to =
their feeders regularly. I was glad to hear it made it through the =
terrible cold spell. =20
