Snow buntings breed throughout the Arctic in the northern hemisphere. They migrate as far south as southern Canada and northern US in the winter. In summer males are white with black, females duller gray & brown, in winter both are dull brown gray with white and black #birds #arcticbirds #365species

It's likely because a large, colorful beak helps attract a mate.

The Little Auk is the most abundant alcid in the Arctic! But it's so tiny! It's part of the alcid family, just like puffins and razorbills.

πππ Snow bunting, female The Snow bunting (Plectrophenax nivalis) is a medium-sized songbird of the Arctic regions. Males are mostly white with a black back and tail, while females are more mottled brown and white. They are often seen in large flocks, flying in a rolling wave-like motion. These birds are typically found in open, treeless areas, such as tundra, moorland, and coastal areas. During winter, they migrate southwards. Four subspecies are recognised.
