Winter is Here! - 20 Nov 2014
I continued driving around hoping to find a (possible) Snowy Owl or Rough-legged Hawk, but despite the growing influx of both birds into the lower Great Lakes Region, I found neither.

Horned Lark (Eremophila alpestris) 300 From blog post: I found a flock of Horned Larks that numbered over 300 birds in the field just on the other side of the fence along the south service drive. I started scanning the flock to look for Lapland Longspurs, and am happy to report at least 3 birds seen. I then looked for Snow Buntings, and couldn't find any until a flock of ~100 birds flew in from the runways.
American Pipit (Anthus rubescens) 1
Lapland Longspur (Calcarius lapponicus) 3
Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) 100
