More Snow Buntings

Since photographing them last weekend I have been seeing reports of the Snow Buntings continuing, but the numbers dwindling. With that I mind I headed back down to the Tsawwassen Ferry causeway this afternoon to see if any remained. On arriving I chatted with a couple of other birders on their way out who informed me there were two buntings present along the south side.

They were busy feeding along the ground when I first located them.

Then they moved in amongst the driftwood,

… on their way to forage along the beach and in the seaweed.

Next it was time for a break to pose nicely amongst the rocks,

When they returned to the logs, some other photographers were arriving. Up until this point I had them to myself which worked out quite well. It was fun to have some quality time with these pretty little birds again. Now it was time to let the others have a go. Of course I stuck around and continued to watch a while longer.
