I was planning an Eastern shore day and checked the latest rare bird alert on the DE list. At the end of a summary for Indian River Inlet was a statement that 80 snow buntings had been reported in the campground on the south side. I assumed that was a transient event never to be repeated, but the tide was perfect to start my day there this morning. I can verify that at least 45 snow buntings are in residence. Unlike the few single buntings I have seen before, they are very active and vocal. If you're looking for an excuse to escape the crowds here tomorrow....
