["Rebecca Satterfield" <srs1225@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stephen and I birded around Cherokee Dam and Douglas Lake areas from about
9:00 AM to 3:00 PM today.
Cherokee Lake Dam area at the corner of Hwy 92 and Hwy 375 intersection
located just inside Grainger County, in the recently plowed field on the
right (located just across from Shell station) we scanned through 100+
American Pipits when I finally spotted a different looking bird...at last
the elusive "Lapland Longspur".
