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.

Sutherland

2 miles east of Sutherland, O'Brien County, Iowa

The documentation form by Darwin Koenig is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: Males are basically unmistakable: breeding plumaged males are different from Lapland longspurs by the yellow throat, chin, cheeks; black and white facial markings; more extensive black underparts, and tail pattern. Winter males are differentiated from McCowns and Lapland longspurs by the more extensive black mottling on the crown, chest and upper belly, and the tail pattern. Females were distinguished by the tail pattern. Try as I would, I could not stretch the black tail triangle into an inverted black T pattern!! And I had ample opportunity to observe the tail patterns in a variety of angles, positions, and distances. | The original documentation form event lasted from 14:50:00/15:10:00.
