[EBB Sightings] Longspur and Clay-colored sparrow

Joel Goldman and I had good looks at the Lapland Longspur  at the  
Hayward Regional Shoreline  about 12:30 PM.  He was with a group of 
horned larks on the top of the hill to the right  next to the trail 
about 200 yards from the parking lot.  It's worth taking a scope, as 
bird is small and hangs out  behind low bushes.

We also saw the clay- colored sparrow at the feeder and in a bush by the 
fence behind the feeder in Chuck Woodrum's front yard in Fremont  about 
3PM today, after waiting for almost an hour.  Many thanks to Chuck for 
generously sharing his find by sending Joel detailed instructions last 
night.
