[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Lapland Longspur - photos
HI all, The Mt Pleasant Lapland Longspur was feeding on corncobs in the same place as yesterday with a single Horned Lark and two Snow Buntings. Close to the road at times and easily visible. I was there between 10:00 and 11:30 am. Some photos are posted here: http://www.marieread.com/cpg/thumbnails.php?album=477 A very nice Christmas bird!

If you go up to view the Longspur, you might also want to look for the CLOUD of some 300 Snow Buntings on Mt Pleasant. For the last two days (and likely longer) they have been feeding in the field to the west and downslope from the observatory. From time to time they erupt in a swirling, twittering mass, circle this way and that, and then settle back to feeding. It's a beautiful scene!

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Lapland Longspur
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!
