I adjusted my work schedule today to allow a little birding time in the western 
end of the county.  Despite high wind, I was able to locate a few things of 
interest, the highlights of which were Lapland Longspur (2) and Horned Lark 
(12).

The longspurs were in a dirt field along Highway 340 about three quarters of a 
mile east of Flea Ridge Road.  They were in almost the same spot where Linda 
Northrop and I found three Lappies on November 22, 2003. 

The larks were with a flock of Killdeer in a dirt field along Hartman's Chapel 
Road two tenths of a mile from Old Midway Road.  Interestingly, this is the 
same field that has produced a singing male Horned Lark on at least two of the 
recent Breeding Bird Surveys in Greene County. 

I also found a Ruddy Duck along Guinn Drive on the western outskirts of 
Greeneville.
