I have been down here since last Tuesday and not done a lot of birding but:
White-fronted Goose - among a flock of the other four expected winter geese (two white, two white-cheeked) in the gravel ponds east of Main Street/US287 at north end of town north of the Cow Palace Motel and the bridge over the Ark River. Private but sometimes the flock that comes into those ponds a few hours on either side of noon is viewable from the highway.
INDIGO BUNTING - female type in the nw corner of the field north of Riverside Cemetery in Lamar (Maple Street a mile or so east of Main). Hanging out with juncos and tree sparrows along the little irrigation ditch that holds seep water from the main ditch a little to the north.
Northern Mockingbird - in the juniper row west of Riverside Cemetery and just east of the big manufacturing building.
Not much at LCC except a big flock or two of juncos, a Red-bellied Woodpecker, a towhee (heard only, most likely Spotted), and a Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Probably cardinals somewhere, maybe the houses to the south, but I did NOT see or hear any.
