| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Michael Newlon forms the basis of this record. Other documentation forms by Rick Hollis and Thomas H. Kent were submitted. Another observer was Carol Newlon. | Elimination of similar species: Call notes and behavior strongly suggest longspur, as does association with lapland: tail pattern, face pattern, coloration suggest Smith's. (over) voice + strong facial pattern rules out vesper sparrow (as does numbers and behavior. Lack of white in greater coverts rules out ♀/i lark bunting. | The original documentation form event lasted from 08:30:00/09:30:00. |
