Subject: White-throated Sparrows and Snow Buntings
It seems a bit early but as I sit here typing this email I already have five regular WTSP coming to the yard. They are all currently in Hope springs chipping and whistling at each other. I might break my high count record of 18 set on January 17, 2025 at this rate.

I saw a post on friends of Montrose point Facebook Group that the Snow Buntings are there on the beach. It made me realize I’ve not ever seen one yet. I may take a drive up and try for them but I would really love to see them in Missouri. Does anyone have any good information as to where I might find one in Missouri.

Thanks in advance! Hope everyone is ready for the coldest temps of the season coming in around the 10th of November.
