Photospot: Lapland Longspur at Jones Beach

Paid my first visit of the year to Nassau County, New York today on my way back Out East from the City.  Caught up with a few nice things at Jones Beach including American Oystercatchers and Harlequin Ducks.  Best bird though was this very confiding Lapland Longspur that was hanging around some steps and railings at the Coastguard Station.  So much better seeing them this way than the more typical fly-over views.
