I'm posting this for Shawneen Finnegan:

---------
At the Portland, OR airport a "Snow" Bunting has been present for several
weeks, but difficult to locate until recently. Now that good quality
photographs have been taken its parentage is questionable.

Please feel free to comment on birdfellow.com.

Right after publishing this I checked my email and found a note from Peter
Pyle who said it looked like a first-cycle male, as opposed to an adult
male.
-----------

Happy Holidays to all of you and I hope the New Year brings wonderful birds
and great photo opportunities!
