Comments: Nico (my dog) and I went to Cadillac Mountain to CONFIRM the presents of SNOW BUNTING on Cadillac Mountain. Jim from Colorado (?) called me this morning around 9:30 about a flock of 27. I drove up at 11:00 and found one Photographed bird comically eating dried Goldenrod seed which it was jumping at to dislodge. It was pretty quiet except for calling Common Raven and White-winged Crossbill.
9 species
Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) 2
Common Raven (Corvus corax) 1 calling on the southern ridge
Black-capped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) 12
Golden-crowned Kinglet (Regulus satrapa) 1
American Robin (Turdus migratorius) 13
Snow Bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) 27 The flock of 27 birds was seen and reported this morning to me. I went to the top at 11:00 and found one bird which was well Photographed and on my facebook page. This bird flew away from me calling 4 quick checks and one clear call note several times. The winter plumage bird than flew back at us and over the top towards the parking lot.
Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia) 1
White-throated Sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) 1
White-winged Crossbill (Loxia leucoptera) 3 one seen clearly flying over me than east over the north ridge calling all the way
