ᕿᓂᖅᑖᖅ | Qupanuaq | Calcarius lapponicus | Lapland Longspur

            Fresh snow on the ground, and some still coming down, greeted us on our first morning in Pond Inlet, Nunavut. After breakfast, a few us went for a walk to the outskirts of town. Adam recommended the road up past the runway as a decent birding location, so that's where we headed.

In our hour and a half stroll we saw:

Snow Goose
Ross's Goose
Long-tailed Duck
American Golden-Plover
Lesser Yellowlegs
Glaucous Gull
Common Raven
Horned Lark
Lapland Longspur
Snow Bunting

In contrast to their winter behaviour around Ottawa, where they are very flighty, it was possible to walk right up to the Lapland Longspurs.
