First snow lays down on the seashore. This is a sign for snow buntings to dance like snowflakes in the air. Their voices are sharp like ice. Where you find a single one, there will be a flock. They cover boulders in flocks. It's their snow white and black plumage with warm blushed cheeks that helps them blend among snow patches on rocks. Winter wanderers at their best.
