Title: Snow Buntings - RMG, Scarborough
Post by: Bluffs Birder on October 28, 2011, 07:49:22 PM

Today during an extremely slow Hawk Watch at Rosetta McClain Gardens in Scarborough we had at least 3 flocks of beautiful Snow Buntings fly over heading west.

During yesterday's Watch we had the great pleasure of seeing a Short-eared Owl fly overhead going west and a Northern Shrike which landed in a big Maple tree right behind us.  It sat for a few minutes before continuing on it's journey.

Sweet!  I hope it's heading for Col. Sam Smith.

Today during a very busy Hawk Watch at Rosetta McClain Gardens in Scarborough we had several flocks of Snow Buntings, White-winged Crossbills, and Pine Siskins flying at tree-top level over the park.  Also today we had 3 Snow Geese, a Northern Shrike, and a migrating Eastern Red Bat.
