Snow Buntings seen in an absolutley huge flock flying from spot to spot in corn fields both sides of Edwards Hill Road

I entered 150 into eBird simply from the massive size of the flock. I was only able to take one set of shots of the flock

as it was flying by. I count about 75 +/-1 in this picture. Subsequent pictures add 13 more as they move through the camera

giving 89 but I know the flock was larger than the camera could see. I will change the eBird account down to 100 even though

I think there were more likely 150 or so.

this is a closer picture of Snow Buntings. They look entierly white when flying but captured by the camera, they show lots

of colors. If these are not Snow Buntings, I have no idea what they are. They can NOT be Horned Larks or Lapland Longspurs!
