About noon today (Wednesday) I was able to observe the Snow Bunting at the
eastern tip of the south jetty.

I had Veterans Day off work so I spent the morning out at Lincoln Point.
When I got out of my car at the end of the South jetty of the marina a Snow
Bunting spooked up and flew low over the water to the back side of the
North jetty.  I went around and walked slowly down the North jetty hoping to
get a good look at it.  It flew up well ahead of me, circled in the sky a
few times calling while it flew, and landed again on the south jetty.  It
landed very near a fellow and his dog but I couldn't see the spot where it
landed.  A minute later I could hear it flying again but couldn't find it
against the sky.
 
Other birds of interest during the day were Pipits and a Snipe at Lincoln
Beach and along the road south of Lincoln pt and west of West Mountain there
was a Merlin, a few lingering Cormorants and Canada Geese, Ruddy Ducks, and
Canvasback way out in the lake (seen from the pull out before the cattle
guard before you reach LeBarron Pt.)
