Title: Kestrel and some Snow Buntings
Post by: Rob'in'To on December 31, 2013, 09:51:01 AM

A few winter bird shots you might enjoy...

A perched American Kestrel suddenly took off after prey.  I thought I had him on the branch but this was a cool accidental shot.

A winter highlight is seeing some decent sized flocks of Snow Buntings.

jealous.
I haven't seen snow buntings or horned larks for a few winters now.
last time I saw snow buntings was, I think, at T&T parking lot. they did a fast fly-by 4 winters ago

Great shot of the Snow Buntings Rob.
Very cool shot to see the movement of them

Thanks you guys!

We love Snow Buntings, especially when flocks are flying about a field.  I could watch them for hours.

I love watching these guys in flight too...
