On a very slow birding day, I was pleased to see a small flock of first winter
and adult Snow Buntings around 5 pm at the GWI Park north of Randolph. The
park is increasingly changing, with development near the Hwy 56 entrance and at
different spots on the west side.

On a field trip over to Finland, MN via back roads I was scaring up ever
bigger flocks from the road shoulders or lightly-traveled pavement. I did

fields northwest of the intersection of Station Trail and 170th, at UMORE

Cottage Grove Drive south of Dale--always around midday or slightly after. This

mile north of Hwy 88 and the town of Randolph. I also had a

Laura Coble and I enjoyed great views of two first-winter Snow
Buntings at Randolph Industrial Park today. They were foraging seeds
right at the road's edge, west of the church, on the south side of the
big loop. While they lacked the dramatic black and white contrast seen

I found hundreds of Snow Buntings along MN Hwy 246 both north and south of
the county road that proceeds to Big Woods State Park. I also saw them

We've had a pair of snow buntings here at Sherburne since Monday - October 18.
They obviously haven't had much interaction with people and vehicles, because
they barely will move off the road when you drive by. Unfortunately, they're
