There was also a single Lapland Longspur at Mt Pleasant yesterday, mixed in with about 200 Snow Buntings and about 50 Horned Larks. And an immature Bald Eagle floated by. And kinda weird to hear Cardinals and Juncos in full song while staring at a flock of Snow Buntings. Justin On Feb 24,

Mt Pleasant hosted a flock of 140+ Cedar Waxwings in the shrubby area just west of the observatory, feasting on buckthorn berries around 11:15 this morning. Also a Rough-legged Hawk perched in a tree by the roadside a bit farther east. Marie Marie Read Wildlife Photography 452 Ringwood Road
