Today I was lucky, came really close to these beauties. :) Not easy to spot unless you see them in the air. I counted 12 of them this time. I was able to get rather close to them so it was a nice birding obs.

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. :)
