Snow Bunting

Flocks of Snow Buntings appear pervasively in Northern Michigan every winter. They are usually not hard to find, but they are always a challenge to photograph because the flock is always quick to fly away. I was able to capture this bird, along with several others in early November. A flock would feed on the shores of Lake Superior while this bird landed regularly in a tree near open grass. This bird and a few friends would land frequently and look for food on the ground. The secret was simply to stay put and shoot until something good jumped into my lens.
