However, some birds prefer to stay and ride winter out, even enjoying the snow and ice. It has to be said, winter can be the best time spot many bird species, especially ones with bright plumage which stands out against the snow. Making some birds even that more stunning, also a time for taking beautiful winter bird photos too.

Four northern cardinals hanging out together on a snowy day. The males are much brighter than the females, however, the females stand out beautifully against this snowy backdrop too. As cardinals don’t migrate they are easy to spot in winter.
BIRDS IN THE SNOW
The blue and orange kingfisher is especially striking in the snow. They live along streams and shorelines in North America. They have a loud, rattling call that lets birdwatchers know that a kingfisher is in the area.
Two red-crowned cranes spread their wings in a snowstorm. You have likely seen these birds in Chinese and Japanese paintings and ceramics.

The mountain bluebird’s brilliant feathers evoke thoughts of spring. Their color is a particular shade of blue called cerulean. Mountain bluebirds live in western North America, preferring open habitats with perches or nest boxes.
A bluejay stands on top of a snowy bush. Bluejays are known as particularly noisy birds. They tend to live in areas with large trees, and they often visit feeders, so put one in your yard if you’d like to spot them!
A barred owl, also known as a hoot owl, sits on a birch tree surrounded by berries. Barred owls live in forests near water and are most active at night.
A young male snowy owl almost blends in with its surroundings, except for the green foliage behind it. Hedwig, Harry Potter’s owl, was famously a snowy owl. They are the largest North American owl. In the winter, you can often find them in the northern plains, New York, New England, and southern Canada. In the summers, snowy owls hunt far north of the Arctic Circle.
