#yiv1481055817 p {margin:0;}This afternoon at ~2:30 EDT Dan Jacobson found a 
McCown's Longspur in with a flock of American Pipits (40-50) at Camp Jordan in 
East Ridge, TN.  Camp Jordan can be reached from exit #1 off  I-75 just before 
the GA state line.  Exit #1 will be US 41, go east to just before the 1st 
traffic light, turn left at a sign for Camp Jordan.  Go to the large arena and 
turn left.  There will be a large gravel parking lot and a large grassy field 
on the left. .  The bird was first found at the back of the gravel lot and was 
seen numerous times in the grassy field, always with pipits.  There are only a 
few records for TN and this is the 1st record for Hamilton County.  Kevin 
Calhoon got several identifiable photos.
