Observation details

*continuing, fantastic find by Jon Skinner. 6th MA record. Longspur, smaller than larks, buffy with faint eyering and dark smudgy belly and flanks. The lark/bunting flock moved around a couple times but they spent most of the time by Building 13 and briefly landed in a patch of grass by the parking lot while I was there. Lifer! Photos. Best view was from here (42.5554080, -71.7547506).
