The Song Sparrow does not mind the winter weather. They're here all year long.
With smaller birds gathering by the seeds and berries, the accipiters (birds that hunt and eat smaller birds) are arriving. This one is a Cooper's Hawk.
Splashes of color always catch my eye, like this American Goldfinch.
My favorite sighting today, though, was this Downy Woodpecker, eating mullein seeds ... or, perhaps, seeking insects in the seed heads?
