Title: umm a Snow bunting?
Post by: Napper on November 07, 2011, 04:52:13 PM

Leaving work today I spotted a bird along a narrow strip of  grass. I didn't think much about it until it flew a feet low along the grass

A flash of White. Hmm what is this little guy? It's not a Junco. It's only about 10 feet in front of me  every time I get a little too close

it fly's a little further.. Finally it hops up onto the fence for the Toronto Works yard and I get a good close up view of it.

 A Snow Bunting?  I don't understand :?

Yeah, I saw flocks of them on Saturday out on the Leslie Spit.  They're definitely in town.
