This morning around 9:30 I looked out at the Redpolls and other birds at the feeders and found an overall lighter looking Redpoll with a white rump, and after a bit of watching, got a good enough look to confirm clean unstreaked under tail coverts, the first Hoary Redpoll on our yard list. It was feeding not at the feeders, but on the Black eyed Susan seed heads we had left in the front garden.
Later this morning on my way home coming over Buffalo Hill Rd I found a flock of close to 100 Snow Buntings on the fields of the Snow Farm. This is the farm towards the south end of Buffalo Rd (the only farm on Buffalo Rd.) While I did look for Longspurs, and found none, it was not a long look, as it was quite windy up there and I was less warmly covered than I could have been...
