Pawnee

Paid a visit to Pawnee National Grasslands in search of some prairie birds, specifically, mountain plover and chestnut collared longspur.

Horned larks everywhere. Meadowlarks. An immature golden eagle. Kestrels, falcons, killdeer. McCown's longspurs doing their twittering flight displays. Mountain plovers and chestnut collared longspurs? A little less conspicuous. Must not be here yet.

Maybe next trip.
