Our team patrolling the tundra between Dublin & Marysville for the O'Shaughnessy CBC had slim pickings, but did blunder into a big flock of Horned larks around a grain spill along the shoulder of Beecher-Gamble Rd just east of Industrial Parkway. At 10 am, we counted 220+ Larks, plus a few Snow Buntings and Lapland Longspurs amongst them. We returned around 4 PM in the afternoon, and there were still 150+ larks present, plus 9 longspurs and 2-3 buntings. The spot should remain good for them until the grain runs out, probably in a few days. Nearby, around the public access along Bug Darby Creek at the US 42 bridge, we had a Swamp Sparrow along the creek and a Fox Sparrow along Lambka Rd just east of the bridge, among many Song Sparrows and Juncos. Elsewhere in the area, frozen water and deep snows made for meager birding. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
