Reporting on behalf of John Dubois.
A female plumage McGown's Longspur (Bruant de McGown) was observed yesterday morning in a field off Hwy 148 just east of Quyon.
This is within the Ottawa district! The bird was described extremely well, including the dark inverted "T" on a
white tail, facial pattern and unstreaked breast.
It was alone. However, there were many pipits nearby, plus 2 Lapland Longspurs, 3 White-rumped Sandpipers and a Dunlin.
Directions: From Aylmer, Quebec take Hwy 148 west towards Quyon. After the signs for Mountainview Sod Farms on your right, and the overpass, take Hammond Rd. right (north).
The bird was in the muddy field at this corner. The sod farms are private property. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL!
This is near the same area where the Buff-breasted Sandpiper was recently seen.
Unfortunately, the bird was not relocated yesterday afternoon. However, there is a lot of habitat to cover in this area. - Tony Beck
