Cold birds

This weekend we ended up with some snow and ice. I had put out my feeder a few weeks ago because it had been cold. Well, birds flocked to it this weekend. I enjoyed watching Northern Cardinals, Chipping Sparrows, Fox Sparrows, Slate-colored Juncos, Purple Finches and a couple unidentified. Last night before we went out I tossed some seed on the ground and table. This morning it was covered not only with what I had been seeing, but tons of Brown-headed Cowbirds. They are one reason I had stopped putting out bird feeders!! Oh well, they all need to eat. They are only here in the morning and evening, so everyone else can feast the rest of the day.
