Hi All-- Yesterday Gene Bauer and I encountered several Lapland Longspurs in a flock that also contained a half-dozen Horned Larks and a single Snow Bunting. I was able to take a photo of the longspur, curiously the first ever for me of this abundant species. I have posted the photo on my blog, http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com along with comments on field marks and the taxonomy of Lapland Longspurs.
