Observation details
I was driving through the Panhandle on the way back to Lubbock. A heavy snow storm had fallen a day or two previously, leaving several inches of snow on the ground and locking up any food sources for ground-feeding birds. The roads were open and there was a fallout of of longspurs and horned larks at the road edges. There were untold hundreds or thousands of dead longspurs along the highways. The numbers reported on this list are a small estimate of the birds present. See attached photos.
