Great pictures. If you put out warm water, you will be covered up with birds when the weather is like this.

Not great pictures, but I thought some of you might be interested in this unique bird I had at my bird bath. It is a black-backed race of the lesser goldfinch. It is the 4th year I have seen the birds.
