During the Glacial Ridge Bird Foray on Tuesday separate flocks of 50 and 60
.Smith's Longspurs were found by separate observers six hours and several miles
apart. The larger flock was seen by myself 2 miles west of 32 on Polk County
45 just north of the very active railroad track. The other was seen by a
Professor Hoch several miles to the SW of the above observation away from roads.
Other birds seen during the foray were at least 50 Marbled Godwits, Trumpeter
Swan, 2 Pileated Woodpeckers, 15+ LeConte's Sparrow, several American
Bitterns, Rough-legged Hawk, Golden Eagle, and more. Haven't heard if the Burrowing
Owls were seen again but they had been seen as late as the past weekend. I'll
post a more detailed report later. Bob Russell
