[cayugabirds-l] Mt. Pleasant Snow Buntings

10:30 this morning, a flock of a couple of hundred Snow Buntings was flying around the fields at the east end of Mt Pleasant Road. They were also seen by Steve Fast and me on Sunday morning. There's not much food up there since the fields were mowed so closely and there are very few weeds, so I

Just spent a delightful 45 minutes or so traipsing over the fields in search of the big flock of Snow Buntings that were found by Gladys Birdsall on yesterday's Christmas Bird Count. I found them exactly where she had, way in the back of the field behind the observatory. What fun to photograph!

Well, just in the nick of time for CBC Count Week, I saw a flock of around 20 Snow Buntings just west of the observatory on Mt Pleasant Rd (south side of the road) as I drove by there around 3:55 pm today. Lots of white on the wings was distinctive. Earlier there was a large flock of Horned Lark

Yes, that's right! There were 4 Snow Buntings flittering and twittering around at the east end of Mt. Pleasant Rd about 30 mins ago, while I was out enjoying the balmy afternoon! I hear Redpolls are on their way too. Maybe the beginning of a birdy winter? Let's hope... Marie Marie Read Wildli

The roadsides along Mt Pleasant Rd have been plowed far back exposing some bare ground and these opened up areas have attracted a lot of Snow Buntings and Horned Larks (more of the latter than I've seen together all winter up here) to feed today. Given these close views, it is worth checking the
