On Groton City Road, where farmers have been spreading manure, there are loads of Horned Larks. Also, a nice, large, roundish hawk up in a tree with it's back to me. Did not have a red tail. I was too late for work (again) to wait for it too move for identification. Also saw a Northern Harrier which required pulling over to observe (even later to work). If you head over to Groton City Road, which is a left off of 222 coming from Groton, be sure to continue on to Hinman Rd. Hinman is the right turn at the end of Groton City Road. A Short Eared Owl was spotted in the pastures on the left 100yrds before the junction with rt 90. As you scan those fields, you'll be treated to the Cardinal's loud clear tunes. Makes it worth freezing your knuckles off. Good birding, Maryfaith
