There were about 100 ! snow buntings at the World Famous Bradenbaugh
Flats today seen at 10:00 am and again at 2:30 pm along Harford Creamery
Road from 0 to 1/2 mile south of Bradenbaugh Road.  yesterday I saw at
least one Am. pipit and 150 horned larks, 6 savannah sparrows, and today
one immature tundra swan on Turney's pond at 4531 Harford Creamery
Road.  This is definitely an all-time record for snow buntings for
Harford County!  There was also a large mixed flock of blackbirds that I
scanned briefly.  In early December, I found a yellow-headed blackbird
in a similar flock. It should be good birding the next couple days. 
Please spread the word.
