These guys have been evading me for far too long, but I finally found one at the end of the Spit this afternoon that was happy to run around and pose for me.

cool. i saw a flock of 15 or so (at least i assume they were snow buntings) when i was biking at the spit on Saturday. was hoping they would land, but at the last minute, they pulled up and flew westward.
nice pic

Rockin' shots!  We hope to see some soon other than a flock whip by us which has happened a few times now.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.

Very nice and the rusty perch suits the bird nicely.

Thanks everyone! Good luck in all of your searches for these guys. I thought it was neat that it acted more like a killdeer scooting around in the open than flushing constantly like a typical sparrow.

Nice shots!
I'm hoping to spot a snow bunting this winter at the spit or Colonel Sam's.
