We got a lifer today! The Chestnut-collard Longspur. Unfortunately, the photo was blurred. We drove out to Lake Benton National Wildlife Refuge this morning. There is a 9 mile drive that we spent quite a bit of time on. There are a lot of lakes, wetlands, and grasslands. We saw quite a few birds and had a great time.
