American Tree sparrows were everywhere

American Coot -its rare I see these on the ground

Northern Cardinals were also in abundance - this fellow seemed to like having his picture taken

I found these two Mute Swans playing alone among the ice

An American Pipit (I believe - correct me if I am wrong)

a Carolina Wren bathing in the sunlight

Nice set of pics. Interesting finds. Yeah those feet on the American Coot are quite impressive.

It looks like a fit with Am. Pipit.

The wren would be a Carolina Wren. Marsh Wrens are very rare in winter.

Carolina Wren..that was my second choice... :roll:

Thanks for the correction.

Wow re: Coot on ground! I've only ever seen them in the water.
