This bird was part of a flock of a dozen or so birds that were feeding in the rocks on the west side of Pipit Point. Hard to find one that would sit still for longer than a second or two.

Lovely pose and a gorgeous photo. I was looking for them in Downsview Park this morning but no luck; however, saw a large flock of Horned Larks.

Thanks, Dinu. I love the Horned Larks too but find them even harder to photograph than the Snow Buntings. A single Horned Lark has been hanging around Pipit Point for the last week or so, but he won't stand for a close approach.

Nice bright light for your shot. I don't recall it being sunny at that time of day today.
Nice job of controlling what might have proved to be white burn-out. I love how they
usurp a rock as a throne overlooking their domain. I wish I could get way out to TTP.
