[EBB Sightings] Hayward Longspurs

All:

On Saturday, Maria and I, along with other birders, tracked a group of 
longspurs on Mt. Trashmore.  Al DiMartini, on our arrival, told us the 
light-colored bird in the group had been identified, finally, as a 
Chestnut-Collared Longspur.  We followed what was probably the same group, 
focusing on the distinctive bird.  By complete chance, both Maria and I saw 
its tail dramatically spread, with what is apparently the distinctive 
triangular shape of the Chestnut-Collared Longspur.  I think Donna Heim has 
already reported this main point.

Yours, John M.
