I spent some time in the black dirt making sure I got Lapland Longspur for 2024 &#8211; I was able to photograph a couple of them this past Saturday morning. I&#8217;ve also been trying for gulls, but I&#8217;ve only been able to find the 3 expected species. That didn&#8217;t stop me from taking photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/010724-RBGU-2-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/010724-RBGU-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/010724-RBGU-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/010724-RBGU-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/010724-RBGU-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/010724-RBGU-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/010724-RBGU-2-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/010724-RBGU-2-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">~Ring-billed Gulls during Sunday morning&#8217;s snowstorm.
