Hi- I was also looking for the Lapland Longspurs on Underwood Rd & Rt. 99-no luck.
It should be renamed over-trodden road, because I walked up and down it from 11-12.
Plenty of Savannah Sparrow and Horned Larks for company though!
A little later Kevin G., Leslie Starr, Brad C. joined in the search-no luck.  I didn't get them at Oland Rd the day before either.

Hello,
I'm not sure how anyone else made out with these today, but I searched for the Longspurs in Howard County for an hour and a half around lunch time and came up empty. There were good numbers of Savannah Sparrows and Horned Larks were very plentiful, including several stops along Old Frederick Road. I also had a great views of a hunting Merlin on Old Frederick Rd, a little west of Underwood Drive.
