Snow Buntings

These Snow Buntings were seen in Heckscher Park, where apparently they often are. I was told that occasionally a Lapland Longspur can be spotted among a flock of Snow Buntings, but I didn't see one in this particular flock. Because Snow Buntings swirl as they fly, they are sometimes called "snowflakes."  Click on my link to watch a video of them in flight: http://youtu.be/9OeFPI7ZEeA
