I observed multiple Thick-billed Longspurs at a pond in Bent County, CO today. They are visiting a stock pond on the east side of Road 10 midway between Adobe Creek Reservoir and Las Animas. This is an historic site in years when the pond has water in it, which it does this year, thanks to a recent wet winter and summer. It should be possible to see (and photograph) the longspurs well, if one is patient and waits for their short visits when they come in to drink.
