Snow buntings are large buntings, with striking 'snowy' plumages. Males in summer have all white heads and underparts contrasting with a black mantle and wing tips. Females are a more mottled above. In autumn and winter birds develop a sandy/buff wash to their plumage and males have more mottled upperparts.
Globally, they breed around the arctic from Scandinavia to Alaska, Canada and Greenland and migrate south in winter. They are a scarce breeding species in the UK, in Scotland, making them an Amber List species. They are more widespread in winter in the north and east when residents are joined by continental birds.
They are listed under Schedule 1 of the Wildlife & Countryside Act.
What they eat:Seeds and insects (Courtesy RSPB).
Thanks for viewing my photos and for any favourites and comments, it’s much appreciated.
We all want to shoot owls and other raptors in the winter. Often smaller birds like the Snow Bunting are often overlooked...
Four days after the big snow, removal of the snow banks was done on our street. Although the road had been cleared as the storm occurred, we were left with big banks that reduced the road to one lane.
This was a very quick phone grab from my window of the blower filling the truck and the concomitant spray skyward.

It started late in the night and now it is snowing, snowing, snowing ....the second car in front is my car .... ;-) ....
Two Snow Goose postings this evening.
We came upon a great Snow Goose scene today. There were thousands on this water close to the road. The previous shot is a small fraction of the total flock on the water. We had several minutes to take shots of these and several close shots of more flying in overhead to join them.
At some point something spooked them and that caused the whole flock to rise in panic. I posted the above shot of that, but only a video from a wider angle would truly capture we saw and heard.
After circling around the water for about five minutes, they all returned.

We've had a strange winter so far. Warm temperatures, sometimes even above freezing! I'm happy that we're finally getting some snow.
Lens: Minolta MD 85mm f/2
Nothing like freshly fallen snow at sunset! It's really difficult finding scenes like this in CT but sometimes one gets lucky

Spring in Boulder brings the heaviest snows. From April 15-17 fourteen inches accumulated in my yard (it was melting as it accumulated), over 30 in Nederland and Ward, and over 40 inches in the northern ski areas.

A few days ago, I was hoping for snow. Now we got more than we were hoping for. Am guessing that we have about 1m ( ca. 40 inches) or more. The breaks between the snow showers/.storms are short and yours truly was stir crazy. So I had to head out there and try to get some captures before another blizzard hit again. Not many people out there as you can imagine. Hard to find a path to walk. This is one of them. And guess what? They predicted more snow.
You all have a great week ahead. Thank you for stopping by, having a look and possibly commenting, faving or inviting. Very much appreciated.
A more artistic take on the typical Snow Geese blast-off shot. What do you think?
I had a great time photographing these birds in Richmond, BC recently. I took around 2500 shots over a couple hours. Every so often they would blast off in response to an eagle flying over. It was ar really neat experience to be right in the middle of the chaos!
We finally got two days of milder temperatures. First it snowed then freezing rain. The temperature dropped drastically over night and now everything is covered in ice. Didn't seem to bother this little Downy Woodpecker. Can't wait for Spring!
I would like to thank all of you that have taken the time to view and comment on my photos, it is very much appreciated.

Well, we have got snow this morning in Lancashire but it doesn't look quite like this sadly. This was taken in the beautiful cairngorms back in March. I so wish we were there now. If you look there is a tiny figure on top of the mountain just to show the scale of these mountains.
Have a great weekend everyone, no matter what weather you have.

This shot was taken last week, but even though Spring has arrived, we may get more snow tonight!
We were looking for photo opportunities in the landscape east of Churchill, and found some in the snow.
