Can you ID this Winter Visitor?
While uncommon, a regular winter visitor to the state is the Lapland Longspur. The Lapland Longspur is usually found in fallow agricultural fields along with similar-looking birds such as Horned Larks and Vesper and Savannah Sparrows. Learn how to tell them apart from these similar-looking birds and check out the photo that clearly shows why they’re named “longspurs” in the Winter 2014-15 issue of New Hampshire Bird Records: https://nhbirdrecords.org/nhbr-pdfs/V33%20N4%20Winter%202014-15%20web.pdf. (“Quiz Photo” on page 1 with Answer on page 43).
Other articles in this issue include: Winter Birding in Manchester, NH; Smith’s Longspur in New Hampshire; Technology Series: Mega-zoom Cameras; photos and field notes from the 2014-15 winter season and more!. Enjoy them all!
New Hampshire Bird Records continues to provide free access to its archives to help birders find information on birding locally and to remind us of the joy of birding.
