Hello Ontbirders
On our return home from the Massena-Cornwall CBC we made a brief stop in the Casselman-Ste. Rose area towards dusk. No Snowy Owls or hawks but we did find a large flock of Lapland Longspurs, 300+, feeding in a field. It's the largest flock I've ever observed during the winter months. Also present in the area were 68 Horned Lark and 150+ Snow Bunting.
Good Birding, Bruce

Directions: Take Hwy 417 east of Casselman and exit at #58 and go north. Take the first right turn ,Con. 20 and follow to Ste. Rose Road and turn left. Follow to Cty. Rd 3 and turn right. Continue east to Renaud Road and watch on south side of road.  Please remember all the land is private property.
