Hi All=2C=20
   In the post below when I say Snowbirds I am of course referring to Snow =
Buntings. I'm not sure why an Anne Murray song was in my mind when I sent t=
he comment. All the best.

Hi All=2C
   There was a large flock=3B about 100=3B of Snowbirds at the feeders toda=
y. It's the first Snowbirds I've seen here in a couple of years and the in =
the largest numbers ever=2C by far. There were a wide range of plumages fro=
m 1st. year to breeding adults and they were aggressive with the other feed=
er birds.
   Because there is still a good deal of snow here we have had a good selec=
tion of early spring migrants of late:=20
2 - A. Tree Sparrow (here today)
3 - Song Sparrow ( in with the Juncos every day)
100's D-e Juncos (the flock grows every day)
2 - Grackles (here two days ago)
1 - Cedar Waxwing (single bird at feeder today for a short time)
1 - R-w blackbird (here about a week ago for a short time (obviously lost)
3 - C. Redpoll (here three days ago for a short time)
1 - S-s Hawk (small bird causing havoc with the Juncos)
1 - A. Robin (here for a short time two days ago=3B first of the spring)
1 - W-b Nuthatch (reported in March and last seen a week ago)=20
    All the best.=20
