And that would explain why I had a couple doves the last freeze/snow, that were 
missing tail feathers..and ice all over their backs....didn't even think about 
them sticking to the tree or wherever they were..

I had 3 birds at my feeders with no tail feathers yesterday....We figured it 
related to the freezing rain.

I also noticed a female cardinal with no tail feathers at all and several other 
birds with bits of ice clinging to their tails. Still didn't connect the 
missing tail to the ice until seeing your post.

  We were “trapped” home by snow and ice today.  It was the first really 
significant snow cover we’ve had here in south Logan Co. this year and the bird 
activity was amazing at the feeders.  We counted 30 total species for the day, 
all but the Meadowlarks, Red-headed and Bobwhites from the breakfast nook 
window.  We too had unusually large flocks of Grackles, Redwings and Cowbirds, 
but we also had at least six DE Juncos around the feeders, (we rarely see even 
a single).  We also watched a Fox Sparrow for several hours and counted our 
first ever American Tree Sparrow here, which appeared literally under the 
window (takes our “house” count to 124).  Once again, the Hairy WP announced 
his presence by tapping on the deck!  We noticed several Doves and 
White-crowned Sparrows that were missing most, or all, of their tail feathers 
today.  We’re speculating that they went to bed wet, in the torrential rain, 
and froze fast to whatever they were roosting on(?)
