I had a family commitment first thing this morning, so I didn’t get out until later in the morning. I was able to relocate a couple of the Lapland Longspurs from yesterday, but once again, photos were not in the cards. The birds were associating with a large flock of Horned Larks and they were just too distant and too flighty. I also located a couple of decent sized flocks of American Pipits; one was located just off the road and I was able to get some nice shots of one of my favorite birds. Aside from that, there was not much going on in the black dirt – after all the Canada Geese skeins I saw yesterday from Mt. Peter, I was hoping for some flocks of geese to sift through but I only found a couple of smaller flocks.
