Hey Tweeterland,

Today I was able to easily re-find the Chestnut-collared Longspur found yesterday by the Watkins' and Nortons and confirmed by Brad Waggoner. Thanks all, great find! I watched between 3:30 and 4:30, and was able to get about 6 other birders on it. It was under the barbed wire in the same spot as previously posted. It was not associating with any other birds, and was almost as easily approachable as the Point Brown Lapland Longspur, and I was able to get some good shots as it fed on some of the longer grasses (about 10" high) near the fence. later Allen Richards and I were able to find the Clay-colored Sparrow found by Brad, in the grove of trees and shrubs along the fence-line, across from the entrance to the reguge headquarters. It was staying in the area of a small flock of Golden-crowned Sparrows.
