Display features Chipping, Swamp, Nelson's, Field, Lincoln's, Vesper, Savannah, Grasshopper, Snow Bunting, Tree, White-crowned , White-throated, Fox, Dark-eyed Junco, and Song (plus one non-sparrow: the House Sparrow).

[cayugabirds-l] Mt Pleasant Snow Buntings
A brief glimpse of a flock of about 200 Snow Buntings this morning around 11:15. First time I'd seen them since Dec 31. They were initially flying around in the field opposite the observation tower, but soon after I noticed them they flew up high and off to the north. (Are they trying to tell me something? If so...what?!)
