Got my first sighting of this winters Snow Buntings a few days ago when they popped up unexpectedly along a gravel road. They're incredibly fast and flighty and I felt lucky to get this shot of one beside a weed that towered above it.

Hi Heather: What an interesting little fellow. I just read up on it as I am not familiar with them. I wondered where you took the shot. It is strange as Can Geo asks us to show where the shot was taken, but we cannot see it !!

Wonderful sighting and shot Heather. I have never seen one in my area. I will keep my eyes open for these little guys. Thx for sharing and nicely captured.

Great shot Heather. Nice that you capture wide frame. This guy is at its best when we can feel the vastness of the field with a little snow. We have them too but I never had a chance to see one. Very beautyful bird.

What a great shot of this one Heather, and yes they are extremely fast, small and quite wary of their surroundings.
