I ventured to Mount Pleasant as well a little after 3pm. The fog
certainly didn't help but I did see a flock of Snow Buntings close to
the road right by the pink flags. I didn't get an exact count since they
promptly flew farther away, but there were definitely more than the 6-9
mentioned by Marie -- I'd estimate there were around 15 today.

I ventured there today (mistake). Visibility was about 125 feet. I
couldn't tell where the snow ended and the fog began. Better luck
next time.

Hi all,
A small flock of Snow Buntings is consistently foraging in one spot on Mt
Pleasant Road, for those that would like to see them. Driving east on Mt
Pleasant Road, get to the crest of the last hill just before it starts
down to Mineah Rd., slow down and look to your right (south) as you come
down the hill. The snow is patchy there and you will soon see a row of
small pink flags (marking what I don't know). 6-9 buntings have been there
several days in a row. They are hard to see against the mud and dirty snow
but watch for movement and you will see them.
