Be careful what you wish for

Not the kind of photo I like taking - distant and a "mess", LOL. However, I just wanted to share the amazing sight I saw this afternoon, when I pulled over on a gravel road just west of the city. I noticed a cloud of these little Snow Buntings and walked a little way into a farmer's field. It felt as if the whole field burst open when hundreds of these pretty little birds took off en masse! They are most attractive when in flight - though would prefer one at a time, as far as trying for a shot is concerned - especially when the sun makes the white feathers glisten. If you have time, large size does make it easier to see what these small birds look like.
