Snow Bunting - Plectrophenax Nivalis
Double click to View
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.
The snow bunting lives in very high latitudes in the Arctic tundra. There is no apparent limit to its northern range, while the southern range is limited by the duration of daylight, which influences their reproductive activity. This species is found in the high Arctic tundra of North America, Ellesmere Island, Iceland, higher mountains of Scotland, Norway, Russia, North Greenland, Siberia, Novaya Zemlya, and Franz Josef Land. During the winter, this bird migrates to the circumglobal northern temperate zone including the south of Canada, north of the United States, north of Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and east to central Asia. During the last ice age, the snow bunting was widespread throughout continental Europe.
During the breeding period the snow bunting looks for rocky habitats in the Arctic Since the vegetation in the tundra is low growing, this bird and its nestlings are exposed to predators, and in order to ensure the survival of its offspring, the snow bunting nests in cavities in order to protect the nestlings from any threat. During this period, buntings also look for a habitat rich in vegetation such as wet sedge meadows and areas rich in dryas and lichens. In the winter, they look for open habitats such as farms and fields where they feed on seeds in the ground.

View of a tree lined river in Yellowstone. This image was taken from the road which crossed over the river.
Just as I got to the forest it started snowing. Great photographically, but it was so cold on an exposed hillside!
Hawk Wood, Epping Forest.
Snow all Saturday morning so enjoyed a walkabout. . . too many blurry photos because of the blowing snow but caught a titmouse on a fence post sheltered by some walnut trees.
You stand there the snow geese suddenly flying overhead, the feeling like this 站在那里成千的雪雁突然凌空飛過，千軍萬馬感受如此
ma anche oggi, 19 marzo, sta nevicando nella mia città, Treviso.
But, today, 19 march, it's snowing in my town, Treviso
We shoveled the deck at 10:00 a.m. There was two inches of accumulation. Fifteen inches expected by tomorrow morning. East Calais, Vermont.

A dust of snow
By ROBERT FROST
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
I wish you all a wonderful weekend, my friends!
I took this photo on a snow shoe hike at Sudelfeld, an area that belongs to the Bavarian Alps. The light was just great at this afternoon...there is nothing better than combining two passions - hiking and photography...
Ich habe das Bild während einer Schneeschuhwanderung im Sudelfeld, in den Bayerischen Alpen, geschossen. Das Licht war großartig an diesem Nachmittag...es gibt doch nichts Schöneres als zwei Leidenschaften miteinander zu verbinden - Wandern und Fotografieren...
snow shoe hike
After several weeks of not being able to go out and taking pictures I finally got the chance to do that. After two days of snowing I strolled around the area while avoiding the hail showers passing by. This is a picture of one of my favorite spots. Ilpendam, 2017.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
