Hi birders, Work on private land yielded a good push of prairie migrants including large flocks of Chestnut-collared Longspurs, Swainson's Hawks, a few Ferruginous Hawks, and over two days, groups of Sprague's Pipits (9/27 & 9/28). At one point I saw three in view, and hearda forth all in short grass prairie. I likely heard others and if folks were to look along roads in good prairie east of Cheyenne Wells I think this is a good time to find some (see the Colorado Birding Trail website). Actually I was surprised how many I encountered, but maybe it's the Kansas effect. Unfortunately I could not gain public access. Here are some snapshots:

So you may not have to go to Kansas! Yeah! Open Space!
