Greetings!

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










I threw in the Junco since I liked it so much!

Cheers,

Bernie

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.

A birth certificate shows we were born.  A death certificate shows we died.  Pictures show we live.
