My birding time was a little bit limited this weekend, so I spent most of it just birding the black dirt. For the most part it was just the usual cast of characters for this time of year, however one highlight was relocating the Ross’s Goose. It was associating with a flock of Canada Geese still; I found it swimming in a small pond off Little York Road. I also had a nice look at a handful of Snow Buntings in a small flock of Horned Larks. I’ve been hoping the arrival of some more exciting winter species; hopefully there will be a pleasant surprise in the coming week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
