The young birds seem occasionally to commence their moult 

 before leaving their northern quarters, but, as a rule, the moult 

 takes place in their winter home. 



The winter plumage of adults and young birds is alike. The 

 upper surface is pearly grey or light ashy, with a white edging to 

 every one of the feathers, especially distinct on the scapulars and 

 inner secondaries. The entire under surface and nearly the whole 

 of the head is pure white, mottled with a few ashy tips to the 

 feathers of the hinder crown ; the nape somewhat blackish : lores 

 white, as well as the eyebrow ; feathers in front of the eye and 

 round the latter, as well as the ear-coverts, black, forming a con- 

 spicuous patch : " bill blackish ; feet lavender-blue ; iris brownish 

 black" (E. A. Butler). 



Hub. Arctic regions of both hemispheres, but nesting more to the
