Every year my wife and I are eager to see flocks of Snow Buntings. This year, I saw a very large flock on January 14 in a field just east of the 3rd line of Asphodel and the south side of Centre Line, just east of Westwood They flew around the field for five minutes or so before settling down. I estimate there were more than 250. Each year we see them in the same area. They move about from field to field but always seem to be in the same area. We also have a Red-bellied Woodpecker coming to our feeder on the 6th line of Asphodel, west of Hastings.
