Lifer: Snow buntings!!!! at CHM
Ohhhhhh so cooooooool! Saw a flock of snow buntings in the field near the parking lot at CHM!!! Didn't have my binoculars with me, but for sure that's what they were based on not only their calls, but also how the flock flutters and swirls around like gently swirling snow. So cool. At first I didn't know what they were, but when the flock flew up and around and back down, I immediately thought wow, they look like snow. My guess was snow buntings, so I looked them up in the Audubon app. Sure enough, the description says how the flock looks like snow! Then I listened to the calls on the app, and compared with the birds themselves -- yup. So, so cool. So them again on our way back to the car. What a treat as the flock swirled up and back down a few times. Gorgeous!!!
