I had half expected to see a Lap or two when I was at Reelfoot last, glad to
see that they are in. Who says you have to go somewhere special to see a
good bird! BTW, nice yard bird Mark. It won't be long until it will be time
to give the mat field at Reelfoot a good traipsing for Smith's.
Good birding,

Subject: [TN-Bird] Laps return
While working in the yard this morning I kept hearing and seeing a few
Horned Larks flying over the yard from the surrounding soybean fields. Most
were distant but one flock of 20+ Horned Larks flew directly over me. As
they flew over I heard a familiar rattle from a Lapland Longspur in the
flock. Immediately after that I heard the distinctive "tew, tew" notes
coming from the last two birds in the flock. These were my first Lapland
Longspurs of the fall and also a new yard bird. I expected to get them last
year but never did.
Other birds of note were a migrating Sharp-shinned Hawk, two Northern
Harriers, a Loggerhead Shrike, a flock of Cedar Waxwings, and dozens of
juncos and Yellow-rumped Warblers.
Good birding,
