[EBB Sightings] Lapland Longspur continues

All,

The LAPLAND LONGSPUR was present this morning around
11:30 on northeast end of the trail leading out along
the flood control channel. It was foraging on the
hillside with HORNED LARKS as others have noted.
Another birder reported seeing the Tropical Kingbird
briefly, but I was not so fortunate. Instead I
contented myself with a dark female MERLIN as it
scattered AMERICAN PIPITS on Mount Trashmore. There
was also an adult THAYER'S GULL in the pond just south
of the parking area while overhead there were several
WHITE-THROATED SWIFTS.
