Hello all
I spent a couple of hours this afternoon picking through the flocks of Lapland Longspurs and the birds that were “off by themselves” and found 1 snow bunting, 2 American Pipits, and 2 Smith’s Longspurs. There mostly like could have been more with the hundreds of birds along the road because of the snow in the fields

This AM in Green Bay Bottoms along the Green Bay Road (Lee County)
there were hundreds (if not thousands) of Lapland Longspurs. They were
along the roadside because of the snow. Also, a small group (8-10)
Brewer's Blackbirds
were along the road as well.
