Snow Bunting on Tundra Boulder Before Dawn in near Oslo

Snow Bunting on Tundra Boulder Before Dawn

by Robyn Cain

A snow bunting perches on a dark, lichen-spotted granite boulder, its white plumage glowing against the near-black tundra. The bird remains perfectly still, eyes fixed forward in predatory patience. Above, a vast sky holds a scattering of stars, yet a second sun sits low on the horizon, casting a faint, believable extra glow that highlights the frost on the bird's feathers. The ground beneath the rock shows patches of dead grass and hard-packed snow. The dual light sources create subtle, overlapping shadows that stretch across the uneven terrain. A sharp edge of frost rests on the tip of a frozen blade of grass in the immediate foreground.
