We went in search of the snowbirds in Ferrisburg and were not disappointed. It started to snow just as we got to Middletown road,and the wind was gusting but that did not matter at all to the flocks of birds crowding the edges of the roads. We found 65 plus horned larks right away on Middletown road. On little Chicago road we found flocks of larks and snowbuntings .Starlings dripped from trees. Tree sparrows and juncos were everywhere. 21 species in all! Great snowy birding day!
