McKay's Bunting - Tsawwassen, BC During a quick drive by on the Ferry Jetty in Tsawwassen, we came across a very pale Snow bunting. Not being familiar with the female McKay's we carried on with the sighting listed as a Snow. Liron Gertzman contacted me a couple days later and suggested the bird as a McKay's so we compared notes and photos and he passed along the info to our resident rare bird expert, Melissa Hafting. Mel contacted a couple of the known experts on the subject and to all of our surprise, we were confirmed with a McKay's. Please see the details of Mel's research here.
