Today (Tuesday morning) our farm near Stratford was graced by a merlin cruising eastward. Our fields are filling up with song, savannah, and vesper sparrows, as well as horned larks and bobolinks. This year, for the first time in twelve years, we've been hearing upland sandpiper, no doubt due to our re-establishment of alfalfa around our organic fields. _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
