[EBB Sightings] 1987 Longspur records for HARD-Winton Ave. area:

Mike and Bob 
I have taken the time to review my records regarding the Longspurs in
the "late 80's" near the Winton Ave entrance to HARD.
11/2/87 Bob and I had both Chestnut and Lapland Longspurs.
These birds were found near the RCA antennas across the channel from Mt
Trashmore.
Again on 11/17/87 (w/Kevin Hintsa and) I viewed both species in the same
general area.
Yesterday Saturday AM, as Steve Huckabone fan ourselves out walking
south on Mt Trashmore near the local where the McCowns Longspur was seen
at 7 AM.
A Longspur species flew towards the middle of the mound over my left
shoulder the bird had a pale throat and underparts. We did not see this
bird again soooooooooo, McCowns??? Sun was in my face so I was unable to
view the tail.
Enjoy Birding

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.
