Trivia follows
After 65 years of extensive feeding of birds in my yard, (OK, including homes of parents for Karen and John and our previous homes) and with dispersal of up to ~100 lb/wk of bird seed when there has been frequent, fresh snow fall, and after thousands of hours of observation; it is a rare treat to get great views of a new species feeding in our yard. OK, guess what species. It is not really rare, just almost never seen in our yard habitat. It is a bird of the field. Don't have it yet? Does it help to know that it nests in the tundra? Scroll down Snow Bunting! for about 15 minutes about 3-4 m from the window. It was snowing hard and images show snow accumulating on its head as it fed. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
