Yesterday a group of us set out to find SMITH’S LONGSPURS in Cottonwood County. Cold, windy conditions made for pretty poor birding conditions and no Smith’s. Today was much warmer and a little less windy. John Hockema and I were able to kick up 4 Smith's at Rock Ridge Prairie SNA. The SNA is directly northwest of the petroglyphs.
We made a stop at the Mountain Lake WTP where we found 3 BLACK SCOTERS, a first county record. Also present were Canada, cackling, snow, and white-fronted geese.
