In late April 2011, photographs of an apparent male snow bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) × Lapland longspur (Calcarius lapponicus) hybrid were taken at St. Lewis Inlet, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, while the bird was foraging in a mixed flock of both species along a previously documented spring migratory route. As far as we are aware, this is the first hybridization of these species documented anywhere in the world. The bird was identified as a male on the basis of longspur nape coloration, and it appears to have the head, beak, and back coloration and patterning of a Lapland longspur, but the chin, chest and throat, and overall appearance of a snow bunting. Although our research team has banded more than 50 000 birds of both species ...
