What a difference a day makes! Bright, beautiful sunshine, no wind, and temperatures approaching 40 degrees - a joy to be out. Bradford Farm gave up some of its treasures today. I made a morning trip and a late afternoon trip. Morning - all the sparrows were in the brushpile including the Harris'. Late afternoon we were fortunate enough to see the Rough-legged Hawk hunting, hovering, flying and perching in the Bradford fields that are EAST of Rangeline Road (opposite the entrance). Then Jonathon Pons was exiting Bradford and told us they had Lapland Longspurs, we found them easily in the fields on the northeast corner of where the two gravel roads intersection. Several came out on the road for gravel; greats views, lots of different plumages to enjoy. Then the Short-eared Owls were up at about 3:30p. Mid-day took some little boys out to Eagle Bluffs to see, what else .... eagles. While there, a big flock of snow geese flew over the property harassed by two eagles.
