...is the Snow Bunting lost or hanging out in Cottage Country for kicks?

It's not snowing in cottage country anymore but one feathered friend, known as the Snow Bunting, doesn't seem to know that. The pretty white bird landed in our yard a couple of weeks ago when the temperatures were hovering around zero plus it was very wet and windy. I guess he must like it here though because he hasn't left, yet.

The stark white feathers of the Snow Bunting stood out against the bright green grass and actually, the poor little birdie looked downright uncomfortable. He was bouncing around all nervous like maybe looking for a... polar bear? I've lived in Ontario's cottage country for almost 12 years but I've never seen a Snow Bunting before, I wonder if he's seen a cat before?

Generally, Snow Buntings nest in the north arctic regions where there's plenty of snow and frozen tundra and they only come down to the southern regions of Canada for warmth...lol, imagine coming to Canada for warmth in the winter!? I'll keep my eyes open for the female version, assuming we've got the male version with the extra pretty plumage.
