Since reading the description of Smith's Longspur habitat, I have been watching
for open fields with foxtail. Yesterday I noticed just such a field and went
back today to check it out. There were a few Horned Larks, Killdeer, and
Pipits but no Longspurs. I did, however, find a single Upland Sandpiper.
Always a good OH bird for me. From what I read they are right on time. The field
is located 2 miles east of Urbana about a half mile south of Route 29. It is a
40 acre field (my guess) with Three Mile Road on the east and Sloan Rd. on the
South. The field may be too rolling for Longspurs but I will keep looking.
Hope we find some Longspurs
