Split Rails - Snow Buntings By Robert Bateman

Split Rails - Snow Buntings by Robert Bateman

"One of the most exciting winter sights for me is a flock of snow buntings. They seem to flash and twinkle. At times, they are whiter than the snow as they wheel and dash, almost as one bird."

"When Snow Buntings first arrive in eastern and southern Ontario, say, typically the third to fourth week of October, they are often found foraging along rocky shorelines. As an example, this is true of the rocky shores in the Shirleys Bay area, where sometimes over one hundred buntings can be seen in there from late October/early November. The Snow Buntings we see in fall are typically quite bright and buffy throughout, an appearance attributed to the broad, buffy fringes to each feather overlapping one another. The striking black and white presentation of late-winter Snow Buntings is acquired not through moult but the gradual wearing of these buffy fringes. Happy bunting watching!" ~ Robert Bateman
