Was also along 685 this AM about 1030 EST. Two miles south of 68/80
counted 130+ Sandhills foraging in corn stubble and in a rain pond in the
middle
of the field. Birds were landing in pairs and groups of 4-6. We noted
that many of them are showing a lot of brown plumage. For first year birds,
the brown should be about gone by now. Looks like these sightings are
local movements--out to forage and back to main flock at night.
