[EBB Sightings] Lapland Longspur

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.
