Greetings!

For the past two days, or so, these fellows have been eating at the feeders...

Love the 3rd one.
The Junco in the snow is super cute.

I could swear those are purple finches, no?  :D

I'm surprised I don't see more hoary redpolls, I hear they really get around  :mrgreen:

Went there this morning and hung out with the birdies for a good 30 minutes.  

Here are a couple of my pics:

Hey guys I looked through more of my pics at the Arboretum and I can't identify these birds.  Can anyone help?  They must be some kind of Sparrow but it's hard to pinpoint which ones exactly.  Thank you in advance.

Oh ok it must be the female.  Haha I was hoping it was some other type.  Oh well.  Thank you
