From another Diana -- we have had snow buntings (10-40 at a time) at
our front yard bird feeder and in the gravel driveway since January.
(No kidding. Just ask Mark Alt.) Anyhow, we have a "lone oak" in an
unmowed area across the driveway and they often cluster in the top of
the oak, just hanging out as they wait for their next approach to the
feeder. With the spring-like weather, all but a half dozen have moved
on. We still have redpolls and our winter-long resident rough-legged
hawk has been joined by 2 others.

p.s. And a sight I've never seen: scores of snow buntings were perched
in the lone mature tree in the middle of the south field. In a tree??
But I saw them as they commuted between the field and the lone tree
perch!
