Went up to Patton Turf Farm to see Lapland Longspurs for myself.  Was 
able to locate 2 (using scope) among the many Horned Larks.  Birds were 
in same field as reported by Jim Green, about 150 yds in from the road 
feeding in the stubble. A good landmark would be the "topped off" white 
silo on the hill.

Jim Green emailed me this afternoon to report that he found 2 LAPLAND 
LONGSPURS among about 150 Horned Larks at the Patton Turf Farm. The 
longspurs and larks were in the soybean stubble on the opposite side of 
the road from the Patton Turf Farm sign for entrance #4.
