Plectrophenax nivalis. Snow Bunting.— This is the most easily 
recognized of any of our Fringillidas of either summer or winter. Their 
food consists of seeds of weeds and grasses, of which they get an abundant 
supply on haystacks. They are most abundant along river valleys. It 
has been alleged by some writers that Snow Buntings never perch on 
trees, but it is not uncommon to see them resting on trees when not 
feeding.
