Monday Music Mystery Answered

On Monday I wrote:
Many decades ago, Canadian singer Anne Murray turned “Snowbird” into a hit song.
What bird is the snowbird in the title? (Please, no googling.)
Feel free to let me know if you love the song or can’t stand it. \
The answer, and more, is in my “Bird Watcher” column for The Record (on Thursday) and northjersey.com.
And here’s the answer (NorthJersey.com. Record subscribers can read the entire column….). It’s also in today’s print editions. Snow bunting!
And no, juncos don’t disgust me. And I understand Ann Murray’s appeal to many. :- )
If you’d like to say why you like these adorable little birds, please add to the comments or email me. Maybe I need to write another column.
