Snow Bunting

As you drive along the roads in winter you will often see flocks of small birds along the sides of the road on along the edges of fields.  These flocks show a lot of white when they fly and are often a mixed flock of Horned Larks and Snow Buntings.   They generally will not let you approach very close but when you do you’ll find that they are actually a very colorful bird.
