Yesterday, just after backing out of my garage I noticed a flock of birds
flying across the field towards me. I stopped the car and got out and realized
that they were Horned Larks. There were approximately 100 birds in the flock.
As they came over I heard the distinctive rattles and "tew" notes of 5-6
Lapland Longspurs mixed in the flock. This is the first occurrence of this
species that I have noted here this winter. I have had them in previous winters.
Good birding!
