There was at least one female-plumaged Lapland Longspur again today, seen
separately by Chuck Philo and myself.  I have a suspicion there are actually
2 birds differing a bit in plumage.  I'll examine my photos tonight and see
if I can verify that.  

 

Lots of Savannah Sparrows, showing the usual spring variation in appearance
- pale ones, contrasty ones, grayish ones, brownish ones, ones with little
facial yellow, ones with lots of yellow, etc.

 

One Whimbrel, no geese.  I guess the White-fronts are staying farther inland
today.
