Re: [nysbirds-l] Jones Beach and Pt. Lookout 6 April
"A" Longspur has been seen at this spot most of the winter. I have not heard of two there, nor have I ever personally seen more than one this winter,. However, the bird I saw today was about half way between the nonbreeding and breeding pictures as shown in Sibley. Steve's bird was in full plumage. We have either added a new migrant or the two birds don't like each other.

I would think a lot of people have not seen a longspur looking like this. There are also some nice looking Horned Grebes to look at if the longspurs aren't around.
