Hi All,

Yesterday afternoon (Saturday 10/6) I saw a Lapland Longspur near the Mt.
Baker swimming beach in Seattle. The bird was feeding on the walking path
that runs south of the beach parking lot. When walkers and runners would
approach it would fly just over the bushes to the lake shoreline and return
to feed among dried grasses on the path. It was very approachable for great
looks.

I briefly checked for it again today and did not see it, but there were
many walkers in the area so I'm not convinced it wasn't just laying low. If
you go to look, it was just a couple hundred feet south of the parking lot
and stayed mostly south of the first picnic table and north of the first
willow tree on the shoreline.

For those of you interested in Scrub Jays - they are very easy to see in
the Central District right now between 23rd and 14th and between Union and
Cherry - particularly around oak tress.

Good birding,

Sam Terry
Central District, Seattle
