COBirders, Driving along the eastern Boulder County roads this morning brought back memories of the epic winter storm on May 1, 2013 that featured several Lapland, dozens of Chestnut-collared and hundreds of McCown's Longspurs. A true Longspur Trifecta enjoyed by many.
The action this morning was not quite as dynamic, but there were many birds concentrated along the edges of the roads where plows had exposed a narrow ribbon of forage. Horned Lark, Western Meadowlark, American Robin, Killdeer, Savannah and Vesper Sparrows were numerous. The prizes were a single male McCown's Longspur <https://flic.kr/p/2iRqyDB> and a very cooperative male Chestnut-collared Longspur <https://flic.kr/p/2iRscL6> found by Luke Pheneger.
