[Birdtalk] Snow Buntings

[Roostertael at aol.com]

Hi,
 
I did some driving about today looking for longspurs or anything new.
 
On Antelope Island Causeway between mile 1.2 and 1.7, I saw some Snow  
Buntings. First were three on the south side at about the 50 MPH sign. They were  
loosely associated with some American Pipits. I say loosely because they were 75 
 to 100 feet away from them, but flew when the flock of pipits flew, they  
flew.
 
 I saw two at 1.7 on the north side in the heavy weeds then two on the  rocks 
at 1.2. I saw these two again a little later in about the same  location. I 
am not sure if any of the pairs were the first ones I saw or not.  Mile post 
1.2 is about the weather station, and 1.7 is about at the rusty  culverts at the 
bend, which are nearly submerged with the concrete showing. Time  was about 3 
PM to 4 PM.
