Lapland Longspur Harrison Lagoon

[Chris]

There was a lone Lapland Longspur at Harrison Lagoon. He was first seen around 2:30 and he was on the north west portion of the lagoon. Here are the pictures of it. I wasn't 100% sure that it was a Lapland Longspur. I saw Janne there and pointed it out to her and she confirmed the ID. It was nice to see you again Janne and I enjoyed our chat.

Congrats, Bundy! Great find! Check out that long 'spur' on your second photo. One can sure see how it got its 'longspur' name! Great bird!

I will check out the lagoon around 9:30 this morning. If anyone is looking as well, stop and chat to the guy with the binoculars, stroller, and 2 kids.

Nice bird Bundy! Keep em coming.

Success this morning with great views of the bird halfway around the lagoon. It was spending time in the short grass on the lagoon side of the path feeding and then would occassionally jump over to the rocky side.

Thanks bundy!

That's great you managed to find it Dave! Great photos as well. I was looking through my pictures after I posted this and I noticed the 'spur' as well. I looked it up and apparently it helps them to move faster on the ground.
