Winter
:
Uncommon
and
irregular
early Nov-early Mar with
outliers
from mid Oct and to early May. Most often seen on the bare tops of mountains - Cadillac Mountain and Sargent Mountain are favorites - but also at Schoodic Point and on the
outer islands
.
Miscellany: Satellite tracking devices have shown that some Snowies spend the winter in the high arctic darkness while others, wintering at more southerly latitudes, can fly at night tens of miles out into the Atlantic looking for food.
