February 18th- Robertson Co.
Come join our annual tradition of winter birding in Robertson County! There
are thousands of acres of rollingfarmland home to Horned Larks and Eastern
Meadowlarks year around which arejoined in the winter by American Pipits,
Lapland Longspurs, numerous sparrows(including White-crowned, Savannah, and
occasionally Vesper), LoggerheadShrikes, and Merlin. We will exploreseveral
quiet, infrequently traveled farm roads by car looking for these species.We
will also pass several farm ponds and small lakes where we’ll be sure tolook
for wintering waterfowl. We willmeet at 7:30 a.m. at the Sudden Service gas
station/Dunkin’ Donuts at Exit 24(Pleasant View/Springfield) on I-24. The
outing should finish around mid-day, so besure to bring a snack and water and
dress warmly.
