We're saved! I just heard from my neighbor's friend, Mary beth Norton, that she saw a flock of 20 - 30 Snow Buntings flying on Mt Pleasant on January 1st 2011, so we can include that record in our Christmas Bird Count. She and I have been talking about the buntings ever since they've been up there this season, and she's seen my photos, so I feel absolutely confident that she knows what she saw. She was driving up there and saw the flock near the road to the radio tower at around 12:40 pm (I had already returned home after my morning route at that point).
Great news.
