		I should point out that there has not been any doubt that he saw a McCown's Longspur; he heard its different flight call and saw the correct tail pattern, the inverted fl T with the broad areas of white around it.
		This longspur was initially thought to be the McCown's on the morning of 11/5/04 at "Mt. Trashmore" at around 10:30a.
		The darker plumage and markings may indicate female, and the lack of chestnut on the nape and denser fl on the upper breast may indicate a female.

	Northern Waterthrush, Chestnut-collared Longspur, Connecticut...
		There was a single molting male Chestnut-collared Longspur foraging on the golf course.
		It was on the green (I think that’s what you call the finely mowed grass that surrounds the hole) of whichever hole is at the furthest northwest corner of the golf course.
		After watching three golfers hit their balls onto the green then putt their balls into the hole with the Longspur staying on the green but out of their way, I waited until they left and then walked out for closer looks.

	BIRDEAST archives -- January 2001, week 2 (#30)
		The winter female plumaged CHESTNUT-COLLARED LONGSPUR was found Friday afternoon feeding in a mixed flock containing HORNED LARKS, SNOW BUNTINGS and a male LAPLAND LONGSPUR.
		Though very good views were had by birders parked near the flock, the bird, notably smaller than the male LAPLAND LONGSPUR near it and sporting a relatively unmarked buffy-brown plumage remained an unconfirmed puzzle after being flushed by a Park Service truck.
		A visit to the American Museum of Natural History on Monday to review the Longspurs collection did find several female Chestnut- Collared specimens that matched the Friday Longspur almost exactly in plumage and size to confirm the bird's identity.

		Due in large part to the continued dominance of ranching as a land use, many contiguous grassland tracts of significant size persist in this area.
		As a result, this area is habitat for some of the healthiest populations of high priority dry grassland birds on the continent, including Mountain Plover, McCown’s Longspur, and Long-billed Curlew.
		The relatively small number of wetlands in the region, including small impoundments created to serve as livestock water sources, receive extensive use by upland nesting waterfowl and broods.
