Status:

Maryland has two accepted records of Chestnut-collared Longspur. The first was an adult male found near West Ocean City in Worcester County in August 1906 (#1997-363). The second was a well-documented individual found by Tom Feild, Geraldine King, and Jim Green on 1/31/2015 (#2015-006). Documentation for a report from October 1970 at Sandy Point State Park in Anne Arundel Co. was either lost or not sufficient for MD/DCRC acceptance (#1983-030).

There are 7 records in the project database.
