[EBB Sightings] Longspur Hat Trick (Alameda County)

Bob:

Which two years of the late 80s?  Yes, what Chestnut-sided?  We were
obviously looking at a single CHESTNUT-COLLARED LONGSPUR based on the
information below.  When the digital images become available, perhaps you
can determine if this MCCOWN's LONGSPUR was the same or a different one from
the one that you found.  There were no MCCOWN'S LONGSPUR reports between the
two dates.
