Hi Jami,
I think the birds are female redwings.
The storm has brought some not so usual birds to my feeders also - pine
siskins, purple finches, and eastern towhees.
Keep warm!

Hi All, I hope you are warm & cozy. I'm spending a lot of time looking out
the window at the birds, as likely you are.
I've been trying to ID the attached birds but not succeeding so I'm
wondering if anyone can help me - maybe it's something really simple. I
can't get a really good picture (I only have the phone and the feeder's a bit
far for the zoom) but I've photoshopped the attached to try to bring out the
main features. They're bigger than a junco, smaller than a robin. (In some of
the pictures you can see juncos on the sides for size comparison.)
Beige/whitish eye stripe and two parallel beige/whitish stripes on the back
also. Breast is streaky all the way down. The most distinctive feature is a
tan/rusty throat with black lines on either side of it.
Other unusual visitors lately - purple finches, a hermit thrush, red wing
blackbirds, doves, a fox sparrow.
Thanks & cheers, Jami
