This is my first message to Tweeters. I'm very happy to have found so many
happy birders! I have a couple of questions:
1)Are there any birders from the interior of BC out there?
2)I have had an unusual (for my area) bird at my feeder all winter, I
believe it to be a male Lapland Longspur. He has been flocking with the
Juncos, despite his different habits. This is my first sighting of this
bird in six years here. Has anyone else run across this charming little
fellow?
Looking forward to receiving your comments.
