The Smith's Longspurs continued to be present in the same area providing nice 
looks and rattling calls for a small group today. Chad Smith, Terry Witt, and 
the Routledge family (Joanne, Larry, Cyndi, and Steve) were all able to make it 
out today to view the longspurs as they foraged and hid in the short grass and 
tire ruts. We were able to see 2 for sure, and possibly a third. The weather 
was chilly, clear, and very light wind making for great viewing conditions. 

Cyndi and Steve stayed to see 3 Short-eared Owls emerge from their ground roost 
and begin flying with the Northern Harriers, and occasionally perching.
