I followed Joel Martin's directions and found the SNOW BUNTING at the  
Southwest Area Park (SWAP) near the Baltimore Highlands Light Rail Station.

I should probably say it found me. I was on the path approaching the rock Joel 
described as "flat-topped, table-like boulder about 100 feet to the left of the 
port-a-pot." It appeared at the base of the rock, then flew up and perched. I 
don't know how long I stood there looking at the bird, it seemed like maybe 5 
minutes. Finally, the bird hopped down in front of the rock in the gravel. I took 
my attention away for a moment and it was gone.

SWAP is a neat park with nice trails and excellent habitat for birding.

Thanks, Joel, it was a life bird for me!
