Snow Bunting — size comparison — facts and sources

The snow bunting breeds in rocky tundra and winters in open-field flocks. It chiefly seeks seeds and insects on the ground.

Males arrive several weeks before females and fight for territories. Females hide nests deep in rock crevices, lining them with hair and feathers among other materials, sometimes renewing the previous year’s nest.
