Snow Bunting, Lapland Longspur, Merlin

[Joel Beyer <twobirders at juno dot com>]

Yesterday (New Year's Day) we observed a Snow Bunting and a Lapland
Longspur feeding together on the south side of the Antelope Island
Causeway, at the first bridge.  They were with a small flock of Horned
Larks.  The Lapland Longspur was in first winter plumage.  On Antelope
Island, there was a Merlin (richardsonii race) at the beach pavillon area
(west of the visitor center, across the road from the dunes).

Happy New Year birding!
Joel and Kathy Beyer
