Just got a second-hand report that the Smith’s Longspur I found yesterday morning at the McQuade Rd. public access is still present this morning. It was not reported to this listserv yesterday because I assumed it would migrate on and not be present for long, but it was seen by others later in the day, and perhaps it will still be there later today or into the weekend. The McQuade harbor/public access is located just outside the city limits about 5 miles up Scenic Hwy 61; look especially in the weedy grasses near the kiosk on the E side of the harbor. There were also a few Lapland Longspurs there yesterday, and I’m fairly certain there were actually two Smith’s - one more brightly plumaged than the other.
