Well, darn it! Steve Fast beat me to it re. posting Lapland Longspur on Mt Pleasant today, but on my way out to buy ingredients for Christmas Pudding around 9:15 am, I saw one longspur foraging quite close to the road in the corn stubble field where Snow Buntings, crows, turkeys etc have been feeding of late. Th longspur was still there on my way back around 10:30 so I dumped the groceries and headed up the hill with my camera. I'll post photos later, after I've constructed the pudding and sampled all the ingredients (especially the brandy)! Hic! Happy Christmas all!
