Terry Wahl called me and described a longspur he saw or tried to see at his
family ranch near Cape Blanco yesterday. Sounded like a CHESTNUT-COLLARED
LONGSPUR to me. Terry has seen several on the ranch before, this one made
a different call though, not the uual kiddle call. I have seen them
several times also in Coos and they have a couple calls besides the kiddle
call I have heard. Anyhow, he never got really good looks at it (which is
typical) so he wasn't sure on the ID but I imagine that was what it was.
They can be a real frustrating species as they tend to fly off and then
drop like rocks before you can see them and when you try and sneak up on
them they fly again and drop again and on and on. You can play this game
of trying to sneak up on them but never seeing them for an hour+ and never
get good looks which is what happened to Tery yesterday.
Oh saw the 2 PALM WARBLERS again at the Coos Bay office in N. Bend on
Monday morning.
ENJOY!
