[obol] Day of the Living dead.......... Snow Bunting

[Moore, Randy]

Either there were two snow buntings at the Smith rd site in Linn Co., or the pile of white feathers belonged to something else, 'cause when I went to look for the horned larks today at about 2:00, the first noise to greet my ears upon stepping out of the car was a chattering snow bunting, which eventually made an appearance for 1/2 hour or so, all in one piece.  

For anybody who saw the first incarnation of this bunting, was it a male?

Sylvia and Paul S. were at the Linn county site this morning at 9:00 and
found a pile of Snow Bunting feathers and a contented looking Prairie
Falcon. The Horned Larks however were still in evidence.

Sorry, Rick
