| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Ann Johnson and Jim Bangma is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Although the time of observation was fairly short, the facial pattern and buffy underparts were definitely that of an adult male Smith's Longspur. A molting Black-headed Grosbeak would be larger, more plump, and would show a very noticable [sic] white wing flash in flight. Bangma's first reaction, upon seeing the facial pattern, was Reed Bunting, but the buffy underparts eliminate that species. No other bird combines the characteristics we observed. | The original documentation form event lasted from 07:15:00/07:15:59. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: The bird was seen by both observers through 7X42 Zeiss binocs at about 75 feet. The sun was up in the east and we were facing south, so the light was good as it flew in. |
