This morning ~0820 I was in northern Norman County looking for =
prairie chickens. While at one of my stops heard a large flock of =
longspurs feeding in the cornfield beside the road. I was excited to =
visually ID my first Lapland ever when a funny looking Longspur caught my =
eye. The reason it was different was because of a chestnut colored median =
covert. Grazing my eyes up from there brought me to a black crown and =
black "bib" below the throat. At the time I didn't look for much else =
because I assumed that it was familiar to Minnesota and the region. After =
consulting my field guide I realized that I should have made some drawings =
and taken in more details but the flock had already taken flight to =
another destination. I can confidently say that it was a McCown's but =
from my initial observation I couldn't go into too much technical detail =
besides the chestnut median covert and black crown. Bird was 2 =
miles East of Minnesota Highway 32 on Norman County Road 5. Between =
Fertile and Gary. Nate EmeryPolk County (bird in Norman County)(218) =
