If you ever were shooting a large flock of mixed songbirds, (Horned Larks and Snow Buntings)  you know how difficult it is to separate one.
Thanks for looking.

Nice bird, it's been too long since I saw one myself! Well done seperating the bird and including enough snow to keep the image well composed. Good exposure and head turn

Very nice, great light, good snow detail, for me I'd prefer a touch less FG.

You did well separating this one.
A keeper for sure, Karl!

Surprised to see this bird in such striking plumage in the snow. Very nice Karl. Was this when they return in the spring. Cheers.
Thanks for looking,

Thanks Mike. It was taken yesterday at a place not far from where I live.
