It was foggy with a light rain falling at the time. The bird sported a pale white throat outlined with black vertical stripes. Overall the appearance was "Lapland Longspur" in coloration, albeit lighter, and with a rufous wing patch(juvenile). It responded to the call of the Baird's Sparrow. Unfortunately I didn't get a good look and it didn't come out when I returned with my camera just minutes later. This bird will need confirmation. With the crummy weather upon us for the next few days it just may hang around. Other notables in the area included; Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Philadelphia Vireo, Swamp Sparrow and Baltimore Oriole(2). Warblers present were; Yellow-rumped, Common Yellowthroat, Blackpoll and Nashville.
