I headed out to Spindletop (Maine Chance Farm in Lexington prior to the ASK 
outing. Saw many of the usual suspects, but had one Lapland Longspur mixed in 
with the Horned Larks. Also saw several Common Grackles and a fair number of 
Brown-headed Cowbirds. A couple of days earlier I also had a lone American Tree 
Sparrow that was flushed by a passing car before I could get a photo.

Met up with the ASK group at Reservoir 4 off of Coy's Lane. The water on this 
side of Richmond Rd was pretty much frozen over with just a little open water 
that allowed us to find a few species of ducks. We were originally scheduled to 
go over to the Fishing Club on the other side of Richmond Rd, but were unable 
to gain access today. So, went to the causeway on Lakeshore Dr instead. There 
we had a nice mix of waterfowl.

The ASK Spring Meeting is coming right up, Saturday, March 7th. Please RSVP if 
you have not done so already. Hope to see you there.
