Plectrophenax nivalis · Icelandic: Snjótittlingur
One of the hardiest songbirds on Earth, nesting near glaciers.
Habitat: Rocky ground, scree and lava fields, even near glaciers | Season: All year
Nests further north and at higher altitudes than almost any other perching bird in the world.
Snow Buntings are often the first songbird migrants to return to Iceland each spring, sometimes arriving while snow still covers the ground.
