I had some time yesterday to drive around and I was surprised by the amount of 
Horned Larks by the roads. It seems that what used to be Snow Buntings couple 
of weeks ago is now Horned Larks. I wonder if anybody else noticed this change. 
And talk about Snow Buntings; our 23 Buntingâ??s backyard flock has grown to be 
a gang of neighborhood terrorizing 61 individuals! 
As I have never been in Horicon at winter, I thought yesterday that I should go 
and check how it looks like. It looked â?? well - snowy. I arrived to end of 
Dike Road just when it really started to snow. And I mean really snowing. If 
you donâ??t believe me, follow the link below and take a look at the first 
photo (make sure to click the photo to see it in original size). BTW the only 
two birds I saw in Horicon were two Rough-legged Hawks. 
On my way to Horicon I stopped at Sheboygan and took some photos from Great 
Scaups and Goldeneyes. One female plumage Goldeneye looked really promising for 
awhile but no matter how hard I tried to turn it to a Barrowâ??s Goldeneye, I 
had to give up and admit that its just a Common Goldeneye. This bird is the 
first Goldeneye in the series and if you disagree with me please do let me 
know. Iâ??m more than happy to take a new lifer from this lady  ;  )
