I think this capture was from one of the earlier snow days. Didn't seem like there was snow since I cloned most of them out and the fact that flash + flurries = lots of bright white stuff. You can still find these guys feeding off the ground at this time of the year. Enjoy!

5D2 | 300/2.8L + 2x | 1/3200 sec., f/8, ISO 400
The bunting above was not too far from where I stopped, and I had the opportunity to creep up to one of them. I also had to work extra hard without that 1.6 crop factor for the 5D2.
As for the shots below, they are tighter crop. They were quite a distance away from the beginning, and there's a good chance that they would take off even if I stayed low and crawled toward them slowly, so I didn't bother sneaking up to them. Plus it was bloody chilly and windy.
