We got about 3-4 inches of snow with a thick layer of ice on top of everything. I had starlings and house finches in droves today. But I also had two yellow rumped warblers, a few titmouses, black-capped chickadees, a grackle, yellow-bellied sapsucker, many cardinals, black eyed juncos, American goldfinches and house finches. I had a few doves and a few robins in the yard. The only regular to my feeders I didn't see was the wrens that are usually there. I also have a few sparrows of some sort that I think are field sparrows, but I need to compare to the books to make sure.
