Snow Bunting - Blackie Spit, BC
One of Vancouver's best location for birding is along a stretch of sand at the end of Nicomekl River in the little community of Crescent Beach. This year we have been very lucky to have a wintering group of Snow Buntings staying with us here. During the winter months the brown plumage keeps them safe in sandy and grassy areas where they forage out seeds. In the Summer, they are a striking black and white.
