Oct. 31, 2004 Tunica Co. MS Today, while on my way to check gulls at Arkabutla Lake, I made a short detour to see if any of the geese I had been seeing had stopped in the fields. No luck there but I did get 8 Western Meadowlarks at one of their regular wintering spots. I saw large flocks of Horned Larks traveling down the Mississippi River on Saturday and many flocks in the fields Sunday but no Lapland Longspurs. Harrier Hawks were seen at 3 locations and all the rice and most of the beans have been combined. Good Birding!!! Jeff R.
