This morning it was like a Winter Wonderland here in Milton almost 3 inches of snow.
Under the feeder I am pretty sure I spotted a single American Tree Sparrow, feeder became very busy and I could not spot it again.
This afternoon here are 2 American Robins feeding on the red berries of the Euonymus alatus bush near our front door. I was going to grab a few images but our pooch needed outside and scared them off. A couple of days ago I heard and viewed at least one Robin in the same bush.

You seem to have a lot more activity in Milton. My feeder was empty for a couple of weeks but I refilled it three days ago and since then not a single bird has appeared, not even a chickadee. I don't hear anything bird wise in the neighbourhood either. Here in Pickering I can only hear the wind and the delivery trucks and passing trains. It's depressing.

Occasionally we get an American tree sparrow in our downtown Toronto backyard, but the last one was years ago. Right now we are mainly getting our usual assortment of house sparrows, cardinals, mourning doves, and juncos.
