Snow Bunting (9)

Plectrophenax nivalis

Chris

Canada (Québec)

Date taken: Jan 2 2016

Details: winter plummage

Conditions at their worst during this shot. However I was lucky to be up-wind when this flock landed nearby. I observed some habits of the Snow Bunting - always attempting to face the wind, and often looking downward even when not feeding. One of my favourite species...at Mirabel, Quebec

At first upon stumbling on this lone bird near Tilley, Alberta I was sure I had a Sprague's Pipit. However at closer look, this was actually a young Horned Lark.

Well normally this bird takes the crown for most spectacular plumage. However not today. The Mandarin Duck currently at Burnaby is taking all the attention :)

Blue Jay (8)

Cyanocitta cristata

Chris

Canada (British Columbia)

Date taken: Nov 15 2020

It was very very weird looking for a Blue Jay today. Even weirder to hear and see him...brought back memories of the east. Ladner, BC. Note - crest blown back due to the wind.
