Observation details

I have never seen a Snow Bunting in this park before. Looked like a female, maybe a few others calling softly in the trees off the path. This Snow Bunting had a Black eye, and a Carmel Brown spot on the cheeks. It also had two Carmel circles on either side of the breast. It had a very white belly, and a back that was streaked with brown and black feathers. It had a very yellow-orange beak when I saw it in the sun. This bird was flying out onto the edge of the pea-gravel path, (the path that bisects the lake) picking through the gravel or sometimes weed seeds on the edge. When people walked or ran by, the bird wouldn’t fly away until the people got about 10 feet away. It would wait 5 minutes or so, then go back to the gravel path.
