Snow Buntings! Welcome Back

These beautiful birds live in the high Arctic, but come winter they trek south. Far south. All the way to here...

Ground feeders, they don't frequent the bird feeders that are jammed with chickadees and jays, but they are very happy to join the mourning doves at the seed spread on the ground for them.

It is almost impossible to catch them in flight, their white wings against the snow, but these were happy to pause for me on the ground!

These are the original Snow Birds, and we are always delighted to have them here with us!
