Lapland Longspur
Calcarius lapponicus


This bird was photographed on the corner of Lewis Road and Route 12 just north of Waterville, NY.

 

This bird was photographed on Sulphur Springs Road in the town of Sauquoit on March 12, 2005.


This could be a different individual.  The cheek patch seems more blended - in the other photos this patch has more contrast.  Also, the eye stripe appears more buffy.
