Horned Larks in Turner

[Loring Danforth]

This morning I drove slowly along Upper Road in Turner, There was a big flock of horned larks at Brigeen Farms at 278 Upper Rd in Turner, flying around from bare spots in the fields to manure piles covered in tires. Further down the road you can turn left at Pearl Rd. Just 10 or 20 yards past the intersection on Pearl Rd there is an area on the left that is often windblown. I saw a small flock of horned larks there too. Both are pretty reliable spots. Past years I have also seen snow buntings and rarely a lapland longspur in the flock.
