Western Howard county again today but numbers were way down from
Sunday. The WHITE-CROWN numbers are up but everything else was
significantly down. One MARSH WREN hanging on and HORNED LARK and PIPITS
are increasing. It looks like the lingering Lincolns and Grasshoppers
are gone.
        Had a tantalizing peek at a bird today with a clear gray nape and very
white malar stripe. Down in the brush with Savannahs it went! A very
intensive search of the area  followed but no luck in locating it again.
Unfortunately I didn't see quite enough to be 100% sure - I  know what
I'd LIKE to have called it. Better luck next time!
