Richard Stevens:
Bryan and I wished to continue our Sprague's Pipit search today. First, we made a stop at DePoorter Lake Park. Our target bird was an American Woodcock. We had to survey the park from highway 138 (due to the recent floods).
The stop was quite successful (in spite of no Woodcocks). We observed a Hooded Warbler, two Harris's Sparrows, two White-throated Sparrows and a Field Sparrow.
Our day was spent north of I76 today (the last few mostly south of I76). Eventually a Sprague's Pipit was found at a private ranch north of Sedgwick County Road 36.
Other interesting birds also on private ranches included a two Long-eared Owls, Greater Prairie-Chicken, Eastern Meadowlark, two Field Sparrows, Western Wood-pewee, Cassin's Kingbird (a surprise this far north), Veery, Philadelphia Vireo, Warbling Vireo, Magnolia Warbler, and Fox Sparrow (red form)!
At dusk, the resident Eastern Screech-Owl called at Roger Danka's ranch.
