THE SNOW BUNTING 153 



black. In winter, crown reddish-brown ; feathers 

 on upper parts broadly edged with reddish-brown ; 

 bill yellowish, with dark tip. Length, six and a 

 half to seven inches. 



A friend of mine informs me that the snow 

 bunting is by no means infrequently to be seen 

 in the London parks.
