I should have mentioned the parking problem in the area. You won't be able
to park on Underwood Rd north of Rt 99, so park just south of Rt 99 on
Underwood Rd, on the right side. Carefully walk north on Underwood Rd. The
first flock of 104 Horned Larks  only had Savannah Sparrows with them. Eight
other people were able to see at least one of the longspurs when I left.



There are 5 Lapland Longspurs  (2 males and 3 females) off Underwood Rd,
just north of Rt 99 in Howard County. They were most often seen in the area
of the 25 mph yellow  sign and 3 sticks which are painted yellow  on the
tops. At least 150 Horned Larks and 30 Savannah Sparrows  in the immediate
area.

The Rusty Blackbird flock on Florence Rd and Schaffers  Mill Rd has  grown
to about 60 birds.
