Snow Bunting
A flock of snow buntings (Plectrophenax nivalis) flitted and fluttered through the yard, picking up wind-blown seeds. They are on their way to the high reaches of the Arctic where they nest on bare rocky outcroppings.
Farthest north passerine on planet Earth. I believe this one is a female.
