About 25 minutes ago the Smith's Longspur flew up and did a big lap around the area it's been hanging out at before landing in a corn stubble field about 200m south of Concession A Rd near Port Rowan in Norfolk County. There were still a few people there when I left so hopefully someone can repost if it comes back to the road.
