Are they just there for the winter? Neat photo!

Yes. They leave every spring and come back in the fall. We get about 5 different varieties. They are fun to watch.

If I am correct they are the pretty little black/gray/white birds you see a lot in Christmas shots. We will be looking for more photos!

The Christmas card ones are chickadees. These guys are a little bigger and come in those colors but have different markings. Some of them look like they were turned up side down and dipped in black paint down to their sides.

Thanks for trying to get me straight! I will still be looking for more shots. Sounds like the perfect bird to photograph in the snow.

Looks like the birds that hang around on my rooftop sipping water then flit off to the nearby trees.

They could be. They kind of hang together in large flocks.

These are my winter only birds so they needed a winter tree. ;)
