Jan. 28, 2009:  Surprising afternoon at the feeders.  High counts of 39 snow 
buntings, 21 horned larks, and 1 lapland longspur graced the ground under the 
feeders.  They stayed until almost 6:00 pm.  I spread mixed seed and black oil 
sunflower on top of the snow for them.  The longspur was my first.  Other 
surprises included one female purple finch and about 9 tree sparrows.  Between 
feedings, the buntings perched in various places around the yard.  The roof of 
the garage was one spot along with the 6-foot tall wooden fence, the 
crape-myrtle bush and the maple tree.
