>> Last month (early to mid May), according to the ABA Rare Bird Alert that's published weekly, a Smith's Longspur was reported in Tacoma. However, I haven't seen any information regarding this report either here on Tweeters or on eBird. Does anyone have any more info that they could share? Considering this would be only the second record for the whole state, I'm assuming this was either a one off report, or it was seen on private property and that's why it wasn't widely reported. Link to the alert in question below:
