Index of Subjects --0016e649811240edcd047d8ebc19 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hello birders. I'm living in Halifax and hoping to band some Snow Buntings this winter. This banding effort would be part of a larger research project headed by Dr. Oliver Love at University of Windsor ( http://web2.uwindsor.ca/biology/olove/Home.html). Currently I'm trying to track down a few flocks that I may be able to bait with seed and trap using ground traps. I've spent a day on the Tantramar Marsh looking for buntings, but found very few. I do have someone up there continuing to try to find/attract SNBUs, though. I was in Grand Pre this past weekend, and only found a small flock there (about 40 birds). If anyone knows of an area within several hours drive of Halifax that reliably has snow buntings, I would be very interested to hear about it. Also, I would be especially interested if someone knows of a reliable spot for SNBUs in their area and would be willing to help out by regularly baiting a spot (I would provide seed). The main hurdle in trapping them is attracting them to a spot where I can set traps. If there is anyone in the Grand Pre area that would like to help out with this, I think there is some potential to attract a decent sized flock there. I found some birds within a short time this week, so there are probably more around. Unfortunately, I can't bait a spot regularly there because I live too far away. Certainly other areas within the province could work too. If anyone has some advice, or is interested in helping out, please send me a message (jeffmacleod at dal.ca). Thanks, Jeff MacLeod, M.Sc.
