A Savannah sparrow



There is at least one Savannah sparrow visiting the feeder today. This is the first time I have seen one since the snow came. The regular feeders are: house sparrows, chickadees, and red-breasted nuthatches.

Traveling to the next town to shop this morning we saw a couple of flocks of snow buntings again. This time we saw them a bit closer and they do look quite a bit like the photos I have seen on the net. They are larger than I thought the other day. We even got a glimpse of a few landing in a field. They do not seem to come into the village. At least none have visited our feeder.

We will be on the road over the weekend going to southwestern Manitoba and then on to Regina Sask. so I will keep my eyes open for new birds.
