All those little guys on the ground are a sparrow of some sort. It is the same as the one that I followed the nesting process on my blog last summer. I think it is a chipping sparrow or marsh sparrow but not absolutely certain.
Do you know whether or not the bird at the feeder with the red right above his beak is a house finch in breeding plumage? I think I need to splurge and get the Sibley's bird book.
Saw Corey today at Cumbys, but didn't see your car, we were on our way to get Tater.
Oh I thought they were finches because they went to the Thistle seed feeder but then I thought it was weird they were on the ground eating seeds. I have a bird book, I'll see what I can find too. Was Corey with me or his Dad? I brought him to Cumby's last weekend but not this one. Did he know who you were? I hope he was polite and held the door for you ladies.
Now that is a thundering herd of little birdies, for sure.
Are they back for the coming Spring -or- do they migrate on thru to further north?
Either way, they are sure glad they found your feeding station.
I believe they are Common Redpolls, and are in the finch family. You certainly have a lot of them!
