Snowbirds

Simon alerted me to the presence of snow buntings on Mt. Pleasant, and sure enough, there was a flock of maybe 50 when I drove up and over this morning. Plus I saw what I thought was a northern goshawk, although I tend to mix up my acciptors and buteos. It was as white underneath as an osprey in flight. (Note: These are not my photos!)
LATER: PZ suspects that my goshawk was a rough-legged hawk, also very white from beneath. That might be more likely.
