Snow bunting are a common sight on the Long Island South Shore beaches every winter. We usualy see them in flocks of 20 to 50 and there always on the move.

It's the first one for me, Morris, and I would eliminate the hot spots in the eyes.

Thank you Eric,
It's funny how the wind gets faster and the temperature slower over time. I believe there were 30 MPH winds that day with gusts to 50.

These guys are my new favorite ambassadors of winter! I've not had the chance to see them too close and personal though so I really appreciate your first picture Morris. Beautiful little BIFs!

Thanks for posting.

Thank you Kim,
My faverate winter bird is the snow goose. I posted one of my favorites of them in the thread "In the beginning"

Brought a new bird to light for me Morris. Thanks. Looks like they can zip along at a gazillion miles per hour. You mentioned you were looking for other snow birds---I'm guessing the big white owl

#1 for me although I might reduce the flash exposure next time to avoid the flash burn on the eyes.
