Other observers include Corey Blevins and Lewis Blevins. | Elimination of similar species: The bird was quickly picked out of the group of about 150 of Lapland Longspurs which were in various plumages. When this species is in 3/4 breeding plumage it is easily distinguished. | The original documentation form event lasted from 15:05:00/15:17:00. |
