Snow Buntings were our reward for winter brrrrrding ❄️🥶. Love to watch a flock of these little toasted marshmallows fly in a circle and land right back at the same spot. Howard Marsh, Ohio #Birds
Small white birds with small orange beaks and brown, tan and black markings on the chest, wings and back. Sitting in a snow covered grassy field.

January means it’s time for some brrrrrrding. 🥶 Lots of room on the Magee Marsh Boardwalk in the winter. #Birds

Close encounter with a little murder bird! This Loggerhead Shrike landed right in front of me with eye on its prey. It struck out, but I scored a cool experience. #Birds
Bird crouched low on a branch, tracking prey on the ground. The bird is gray on top and white on the bottom, with a black “bandit” band across its eyes and down its wings.
