This week (Tuesday probably) i observed more H Larks than i have ever observed in S FRED CO on Lees Lane.  There were easily a couple dozen, but may have been many more.  Snow has blown away to reveal bare ground in the fields south of the road.  Try as i might i couldn't find a LL among them though.  I hope to try again tonight on the way home.  If you check it out, i would suggest accessing Lees Lane from the Catholic Church side for two reasons

1. Lees Lane as of TUES was one lane thru especially on the MD 17 side and, although not a busy road you could expect to find oncoming traffic at any time of the day
2. The bare field patches are actually quite close to the Catholic Church side.
