Snow buntings
migrate to wintering grounds in the northern Unites states (including Minnesota)
and western Europe. On the other hand, they breed on the high arctic tundra such
as Alaska, northern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and northern Europe. As you can
see, they blend into their surroundings very well. The pic was shot on Lake
Phalen, St. Paul, MN, 061021. Sharon*
gave us her comment on the photo when we e-mailed this pic to her: “I love this
photo, they are sitting in a really cute angle. Sometimes you will find snow
bunting in huge flocks. When they are in a large flock you can't get close to
them at all, but if it's just one or two you can sometimes get very close. “ More
