[CT Birds] Snow Bunting

[Jan Collins]

12/15  Somers  Hutton Rd. 1 SNOW BUNTING

On my way home from helping with the CBC in Manchester, I drove down Hutton 
Rd in Somers to check the snow fields for my Horned Larks.  They had moved 
from the north field on the east end of the road to the south field on the 
west end of the road.  This field has vegetation standing about a foot above 
the snow, so the 70+ Horned Larks were running through the plants and 
periodically jumping up to shake some vegetation and dropping back down to 
the snow to feed on whatever they dislodged.  At one point about 30 of them 
landed in the road in front of me and in the middle of the flock was 1 SNOW 
BUNTING.
