I spent the day car-birding the Killdeer Plains area in Wyandot and Marion Counties.Temperature never exceeded 8, but the winds thankfully had subsided to only 10 m.p.h. or so. Highlights: Raptors: Rough-legged Hawk--2 light morphs Northern Harrier--1 male, at least 5 females, 1 immature Red-tailed Hawk--13 Cooper's Hawk--2 Bald Eagle--2. Both landed on the nest visible from Town Road 108 and seemed to be doing some housekeeping. Since the nest was unoccupied for some time and with 3 degree temperatures, I think we can assume there were not any eggs yet. Other birds: American Tree Sparrow--everywhere! I counted 150 and if you include the 50 or so sparrow species flushed from the roadside that were probably this species there were probably 200. Dark-eyed Junco--78 White-throated Sparrow--10 White-crowned Sparrow--2 Horned Lark--36 Lapland Longspur--8, along Larue-Marseilles Road south of Route 309. Snow Bunting--1 with longspurs and larks. Pine Siskin--4 at feeder along Route 119 just south of Harpster. Red-headed Woodpecker--2 adults and 1 immature mostly molted to adult plumage. 17 other common species.
