Matthew Pendleton (22 Dec 2017) - [Harold Crane WMA] - Chestnut-collared Longspur. Pale looking longsur with a wing bar and smallish bill. Tail pattern seen very well and clearly.

Heard and seen with Laplands and Horned Larks. Tail pattern noticed best when it jumped and moved, fanning its tail. I missed the best photo opp when I couldn't find it in my camera before they flew off but I managed one poor yet diagnostic photo of it in flight.

Pretty girl.

Mike Hearell (12 Dec 2017) - [Beaus Pond & Beaus Forest Green Park] - White-breasted Nuthatch. (Interior West).
