The Rawhide CBC started out as no wind and actually "balmy" from previous counts ... then Mother Nature struck with a fury! :-) ... Fun times though and good birds. Nice to be on a CBC section with zero House Sparrow, one starling and one Eurasian-collared dove ... :-)
In Nunn--gale force winds--on way back from Rawhide ran into gargantuan flock of Horned Larks (my favorite storm trooping bird) along 100 btw 23 and 27 which I visually saw and heard multiple Lapland Longspur. Also at WCR 33 .5m south of 100 the 1-5 Laplands that hang out there were still present on a recent walk.
In our yard, highlight during storm aftermath were 34 Western Meadowlark (record high!) and 18 American Tree Sparrow (record high!)
Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
