They're plowing the field now. Gonna watch to see if anything kicks up.

I went out to the Smith's field. Twenty plus times a charm. A few people
were out there. Rowan spotted 2 Smith's get up near him. No one else got on
them. As we headed to an area where they might have gone, we noticed some
longspurs moving into the area. I clump counted 120. Rowan had come from
that direction, so I feel these were all new birds. In a group that was
lower ,I got good light and a good look at a male Smith's. The others
birders had bad lighting, even though it went over them. Kris and Greg
headed over to where some landed. I walked the rest of the area and didn't
see another longspur.
When I got back to them ,the longspurs got up. Before they cleared the
horizon, I saw a Smith's tail in the bunch.
On the way back, I did walk through the first field . I didn't see any
longspurs, but it was a half hearted try.
