Myself and Bob Krajeski had 2 male Lapland Longspurs in the back of the 
green sedge area at the sandspit ,6pm to dark last night (Thursday). Birds 
have very visible winter coloration. One bird would allow close approach to 
within 10 feet, was able to get good photos. This area warrants closer 
scrutiny for other species.

     Other observations:

                    Dunlin    flock of 9 to 10 since tuesday
                    Black-bellied plover    3 to 5 all week
                    Golden plover    1  all week
                    Snipe     2+
                    Pectoral sandpiper   3
                    Green-winged teal    15
                    Sora   3 to 5  all week
                    Greater Scaup    1 female
                    Semipalmated plover    2     10/2
