For the record, I did not at all interpret the earlier message as suggesting flushing. I understood that he was suggesting walking along the road and NOT among the trees precisely to avoid (or at least minimize) disturbance. But, maybe I'm wrong. I would agree however that future requests for info

Hi Lori >From intersection of WCR 94/33 go east one mile on WCR 94. Turn off car, walk the road, listen and look for the Horned Lark flocks-some quite large. You will probably hear the Laplands long before you see them, flying overhead. I usually experience small groups of 4-6 Laplands flying o
