I was at 40th Ave. West and refound or found another Smith Longspur. =
The longspur was in the SE corner of the main dried up pool.
I had a 45 second look at the longspur and new it was a Smith Longspur =
but as the bird flew I saw a lot of white in the tail pattern. I wanted =
another look to rule out a Chestnut - collared Longspur but could not =
relocate it. =20
Other birds:
31 Black-bellied Plovers flew over head.
Indigo Buntings (nice to see in Duluth)
Harris Sparrows
Swamp Sparrows (lots)
Lincoln Sparrow ( a lot )
With Hurricane Isabel heading for the Carolinas, you have to wonder if =
what rarities could be tossed our way especially in the Great Lakes =
area?? I sure would like to discover a Gannet or a Black Skimmer.
