A group of males

I was lucky this week when I took the car to the countryside outside town. I spotted the Snow Buntings and they are quite rare. They are heading north now to breed on the tundra.
To see them in the air is easy as they "glitter" due to the bright underpart. To see them on the ground is much worse. I had to mark them to see them. :)

Nice find!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to find this rare bird! You have great birding karma! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBut you saw them!! That is the main thing!! I pay a lot more attention to the birds in the spring, since they have been gone so long!!
ReplyDeleteVilka häftiga bilder där snösparvarna är som stenskot på rutan. Förlåt en konstig liknelse, men de är så fantastiskt skarpa och "utmejslade" i bilden.
ReplyDeleteVilken underbar naturupplevelse att få se en hel flock glittra i luften.
Glad påsk önskar jag dig!
Fina bilder. De är svåra att upptäcka. Glad Påsk!
