I showed up at Harford Creamery Rd  and Bradenbaugh Rd at 4 pm and did not see the LALO, although I did have a good canidate when a truck drove by and flushed a bunch of Horned Larks and I was never able to refind the bird. As Kevin said, There were a ton of birds in the muddy barnyard area at this intersection, probably a couple thousand Red-winged Blackbirds. Then on the way home, on the same road, but a few miles from the last location, I noticed a big flock of b lackbirds. I pulled over and hopped out of the car to see Tens and Tens of thousands of birds, mostly Com mon Grackles and Red-wings , it was epic. As far as I could see in both directions there were birds ( I had a good vantage point and could see very far in both directions) , with clouds of them so thick in some areas. I stood there for 20 minutes watching and there was no end in site. It would not be crazy to say that I saw 500,000 plus
