Snow Buntings feeding on a Silage pile

100-150 Snow Buntings were feeding on the face of a silage storage pile. They were acting very like Bank Swallows in the summer. They would all fly to the other side of the road and land in a Crab apple tree. At some cue they would all take flight and return to the silage and edge of the road. i have never seen this action before.
