2 small flocks, totalling over 30 Horned Larks and 10+ Snow Buntings, were very active in the snow-covered fields and the salted roadside of Hall's Rd. on Thursday, Mar.6, in the noonhour. Near the platform at the end of the south pathway there were 2 Song Sparrows, 1 Swamp Sparrow, many American Tree Sparows, several Dark-eyed Juncos, 2 House Finches, 3 White-breasted Nuthatches and 1 Red-winged Blackbird. Overhead I detected a Red-tailed Hawk and a Northern Harrier. Recently there have been 3 male Wild Turkeys feeding at the entry to the north pathway.
