				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 
Thanks, Jeff and Lance.  Fascinating stuff!
