I had a Rough-legged Hawk fly south over Montrose Point this morning. Rough-legged Hawks are rare at Montrose; I think I’ve seen fewer than 10 in the 35+ years I’ve been birding there. I saw the bird just after sunrise and it was a couple of hundred feet high so it must have started migrating in the dark.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Other birds seen at Montrose this chilly a.m. include:<\/p>\n

American Pipit – 2
\nFox Sparrow – 2
\nSavannah Sparrow – 1
\nLapland Longspur – 5
\nSnow Bunting – ~8
\nCommon Redpoll – 3
\nPine Siskin – 1<\/p>\n

It was so cold this morning the lake was steaming, something we usually don’t see until well into winter.<\/p>\n
