I did a drive this morning to the most northern parts of Robertson County, 
visiting the huge agricultural fields along State Line Rd. between Lamont and 
N. Pearson Roads. There were lots of Horned Larks and Lapland Longspurs feeding 
among the corn stubble and winter wheat. I don't feel confident estimating the 
number because they were not concentrated in one area and were moving 
frequently. There were certainly scores of them, possibly hundreds.

A flyover Bald Eagle and an adult male Northern Harrier were nice additions.

On the way home I had a flock of 15 Rusty Blackbirds on Hugh Woodard Rd.
