My family thought I was insane dragging them to Mentor and on the very long, windy walk across the beach, especially after last winter when we had four or five equally insane (and completely failed) quests for snow buntings. When we got to the lighthouse we were prepared for disappointment because there were no flocks, but with a tiny bit of patience, I found one very cooperative snow bunting walking around on the beach near the lighthouse, so the entire family finally saw one. We also saw two dunlin on the beach as we were walking away afterwards.
