For those closer to Columbus needing a Rough-legged Hawk, I saw two at
Battelle Darby this morning in the Kuhlwein wetlands.  One dark phase and
one light phase.  Both were in the vicinity of Kuhlwein Road.  9 Harriers in
view at one time.  A SEOW even got up for a bit in the early morning sun.

Also, the fields in Northern Madison County and Southern Union County are
absolutely teeming with Lapland Longspurs, they outnumbered horned larks
everywhere I saw mixed groups.  The ice storm appears to have pushed them
right to the road edges.  Interestingly, not one Snow Bunting anywhere!
Anyone else noticing a lack of snow buntings in central Ohio?

On 95 between viewing platform and Espyville Rd. a Rough-legged Hawk  was
perched up high in a tree.  Took off towards the north, and showed off it's
bracelets.  Landed in area on north side of 95 before the bike trail.

Happy Birding and God bless
