[mou] Horned Larks in Olmsted County

[Paul Pedersen]

I don't know if they are early migrants or are being driven in by the ice and snow we've had this week, but more Horned Larks were on some of the gravel roads around Olmsted County today in singles and groups of 2 - 3. However, one stretch of road (20th St SW between 70th Ave SW and Cty Rd 3, near where a Short-eared Owl has been seen years past), had several groups of 12-15. Also in this same stretch, yesterday were about a dozen Lapland Longspurs.
