Today, Dec 31st, 2012 at 3:15 p.m., we saw a darker coloured bird flying
with a flock of 30 snow buntings. It was a bit smaller than the Snow
Buntings. The flock was very active and we couldn't get a good look for
detail through the scope. The flock was feeding in a long, cropped, field
running parallel to Eldon Station Road and east from Centennial Park Road in
the Carden Area.
We first located this bird yesterday while participating in the Carden CBC
with Ron Reid. Unfortunately, this area is just outside the Carden CBC
circle.

Directions: From the south take Highway 12 to Beaverton and turn East on the
Argyle Road ( Cty hwy 15) to Argyle, turn north on Cty hwy 46 to Eldon
Station Road and then East to Centennial Park Road.
