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 Bob Lane Damascus,Ohio _________________________________________________________________ i'm making a difference.
