I got out this morning and filled all the bird feeders. I was glad I had some of my homemade suet, as the my cage feeders were empty too. As soon as I stepped out, I saw a flutter of cardinals, juncos, finches, and blue jays. I was hoping if I gave them a few minutes they'd come back. I stood the cold as long as I could and managed to snap a few.
Bluejay
Finch
Snowy dill
Snowy Rupert (Yes, that's his name!)
Finch??
Finch??
If you can identify the last two, let me know. I think they are house finches, but not sure.
Thanks!

I believe you are right about the house finches.
You did a great job photographing those little guys. Love 'em!
Yes---the reddish ones are male House Finches.. The females are mostly brown....
Beautiful pictures of your birds, Cathy. Glad you got a snow day.. We have had more snow here ALL day long--about an inch or two (on top of the 4+ inches we had)... It's really treacherous up here now.
Hugs,

It stopped snowing here for a while, then started again, but I think it's stopped for good. The roads are pretty clear so I imagine the boys will be back to school tomorrow.
The pictures are great.They look like finches to me. They are so pretty . I really like your blog.
That's what I would call them. I loved the snowy Rupert :) I love my bird feeder.

The statues are fun in the snow, I left a few out, but they don't all stay up.We had school off here with a meager 6 1/2 inches. I was surprised since the plows got through early.I stayed in until a neighbor helped me plow out.You got some fun bird shots, look for a state bird book for your area, it is a fun family hobby.
Nice Bird shots... Love Birdfeedin and watchin.
Beautiful pictures! Birds are fun to watch year round, but especially in the winter.
The only things I know about finches is: They're too small to eat. And Darwin couldn't tell one from another, either.
I can't help with the bird ID, but I enjoyed your photos. We ended up with 2 days off of school due to the snow.
Yes, those are finches. I like your bird pictures. We have 8 feeders of different sizes that we try to keep filled when the snow is on the ground. I love taking pictures of all the different birds all gathering to eat. It is hard to pick a favorite. I love the cardinals, blue jays, juncos and the pretty little chickadees.
