Steve Foss Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 While my wife was picking cranberries in a nearby bog, I plopped down on the gravel road and waited for a small group of spooked snow buntings to work their way back toward me along the ground. They got within about a dozen feet. Sure are cool birds. And a close-up portrait from last fall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayinMN Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I can really appreciate these shots! I chased them all over the Sax/Zim bog last winter trying to capture them on camera. They sure are some cute birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Shutterbug Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Those are some pretty birdies, a species I have yet to see. Nice photos, to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finnbay Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I like that first shot because it gives you a chance to see what the whole bird looks like! Usually all you get to see is the north end of the bird going south and not the head and sides. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
