Andy Rabin "claimed" to have seen a snow bunting flying in a fairly distant
flock of horned larks at Oland Road this a.m. (Roger Stone and I didn't
want to believe him until we saw it ourselves.) A few minutes later, both
Andy and I shared the same claim, as another flashed by in (another?) lark
flock. Unfortunately, they did not repeat the performance during our stay.
However, we soon enjoyed close looks at horned larks and water pipits
bobbing in and out of the corn stubble. An interesting female blue-winged
teal(we didn't see it long enough to check its potential cinnamonality)
swam in the company of a mallard pair at Lilypons, and two herring gulls
and one greater yellowlegs added a splash of water bird interest.
