Richard Stevens:
Bryan Ehlmann and I checked out two Greater Prairie-Chicken leks that have been successful in the past. We found two Greater Prairie-Chickens walking along a county road near one of them. Kevin O'Brien it was yours if you are reading this!
Afterwards, we photographed and collected GPS waypoints on WIA plots in Yuma County. The weather was fantastic again. Calm winds and temperatures in the high 60s.
We observed a Snow Bunting with several dozen Lapland Longspurs and hundreds of Horned Larks at the WIA at Yuma County Road 1 and CR N. Visits to about 25 other WIAs were uneventful.
At Hale Ponds we found several Long-eared Owls, an Eastern Screech-Owl, and 2 Red-bellied Woodpeckers. We had a brief look at a Harris's Sparrow but could not relocate it for confirmation of our identification.
