Re: Snow birds? What's at your feeders?
Among the usual suspects, we had an elevated number of House Finches(10) and American Goldfinches(15). The Yellow-rumped Warblers have been low(2) and the Northern Cardinals(10) were somewhat typical.

Re: Snow birds? What's at your feeders?

Re: Fw: [labird] Snow birds? What's at your feeders?
