Caught a break in the rain for a couple hours, so I checked out the field at 120th Ave. and 270th St., Kossuth Co. Flushed a flock of 70 Smith's Longspurs twice and had a flyover flock of 60 Laps. Also present were 35 Pipits and a Short-eared Owl.

East of Algona, there were 23 Smith's Longspurs at the new planting adjacent to St. Benedict WA. Then the breeze picked up, the drizzle started again, and the temperature began to drop.
