This is kind of close to where one was reported off Sumantown Road. Also spotted what were probably some longspurs in fresh spread manure, but didn't get the bins on them before flushing them off. A merlin has been appearing off Sumantown Road near Old Middletown Rd all Winter. Saw it the past two days. Does anyone check the very large pond off Rte. 17 near Lees Lane for waterfowl anymore? This place once hosted a wide variety of species, but I have not yet checked on it this season.
