Media notes
Cellphone recording. Much human noise in the recording - I was trying to follow the bird, and John didn't know I was recording.
Observation details
Continuing, seen with John. A stocky sparrow-like bird that was seen in flight only as it flew past us going west along the lake shore. The bird was calling regularly as it flew by, and I concentrated on getting recordings on my cell phone. So my views were naked-eye only, but the bird was close enough for me to make out that the tail was almost entirely white. The "kit-it-tle" flight call was melodic to my ear, quite unlike the drier rattles of the other longspur species. Will add recordings when I get back home
