Snow Bunting on the Beach
That's right...a Snow Bunting near Half Moon Bay, California! These birds should not be here but once in awhile we get a stray.
The snow bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) is a small, hardy songbird known for its striking seasonal plumage and Arctic breeding grounds. Nicknamed "snowflakes," these birds can withstand extremely cold temperatures and are often seen in large, swirling flocks during the winter.
