Just curious if with the cold weather any rough legged hawks have come down to the Black Dirt yet, of if there’s been a buildup of horned larks, buntings, pipits, or even a few longspurs? Always worth a trip to Indiana Road, etc. just to each lunch at Quaker Creek Store and bring home some sausages, stuffed cabbage, and potato pancakes --- birds just make it more worth it.
With all of the waterfowl reports (and a western grebe in Piermont) , finally, it seems like some winter birding!

It flew in and perched and then flew off, and I was not able to relocate. I have pictures and received confirmation on the ID. It covered Black Dirt (Flew in from RT 1 and flew in past sod farms).

This is a rufous morph of the subspecies calurus -- Western Red-tailed Hawk. Anyone get pictures of the one in Staten Island or see it again?
