belated report of Lark Buntings in Saguache Co June 8

[David Suddjian]

From May 30 to June 13 I did a lot of birding that I was unable to report on here due to lack of time, but as I am processing through the info and entering in eBird I see an apparently notable occurrence that I am passing on here. 

On June 8 my son Stephen and I observed 6 Lark Buntings at Hwy 17 x County Road E, a few miles north of the town of Hooper. They were in the area about 100-200 yards east of the intersection. It was 4 males (3 were singing and doing song flights) and 2 females. eBird gives the species as rare for Saguache and the eBird species map shows only 2 pins for the county.
