I just spent the last 15-20 minutes watching and trying to count a flock of Snow Buntings feeding in some green-ish weeds at the junction of Mt Pleasant and Mineah Rd. I estimate there were about 60. Eventually they all took off flying high to the south, but when I rounded the corner on my way home at least part of the flock was swirling round the corn stubble field opposite my house, a place I've never seen them before. Since I could see them from my front porch, Snow Bunting is now officially on my yard list!
