I thought I would make a comment about the Snow Buntings that have been at Bluestone Business Park on the east side of E. 260th St in Euclid.  I went there three times this afternoon staring around 2pm.  Sometimes you don't see any, sometimes you see 20-25 and sometimes you see more.  There are two trains that run on the north and south side of the property.  If you don't stir the birds up when you drive by them near the road sometimes they are deep in the grass by the northern most train or elsewhere and you don't see them.  If you wait until the trains pass (which is frequently) that will stir them up usually if they are there.  Today I saw about 23 and then shortly after more joined in and there were 62.  So sometimes they might be spread out in separate groups.  I had 50-60 on 11/18 so today I was lucky.  I took some pictures to verify my count.  Also after 4:30pm saw large flocks of European Starlings southeast of the eastern end
 of the park over the freeway flying northeast of east northeast looked like over 5000.  Also over 70 American Robins.
