From Tina Green: 01/13/15 - Bridgeport, Seaside Park -- Lapland Longspur (with a flock of Horned Larks) at the very west end of the park. FYI, Greg Hanisek found the Longspur earlier today and I learned about it from my eBird "needs alerts" which popped up on my email and I saw it while finishing a class. I encourage those that do not use eBird to start using it now. It is easy to use,even for someone like me who is "technology challenged".
