I completely second Will's sentiments ... great find, and thanks for letting us know in such a timely manner! The bird was still at the Sewage Ponds (near the goose nest along the cordoned-off road) at about 6:30 this evening - seen well by Oscar Harper, Adrian Hinkle, Pam Otley, the Hatfields and myself. We don't get to see too many breeding-plumaged Lapland Longspurs around here, and rarely this well! Other birds of note at the Sewage Ponds today included an EARED GREBE, a pair of GREATER SCAUP, and 29 LEAST SANDPIPERS.
