Sorry for the late post , I but I had a feeling these birds wouldn't stick around and I was right. Between 9 and 10 this morning I had 5 rosy-finches at my feeders: 3 blacks, 1 brown-capped (new yard bird!) and 1 gray-crowned. A rather ad hoc assortment I thought. There was also a young/female Cassin's Finch, a species which is often common here but this winter has been absent since early September.
Yesterday the first spotted towhee also arrived to the feeders in the snow. Lots of juncos right now (more oregon's and less white-wingeds than earlier this winter), fewer siskins than earlier this winter, but a few American goldfinches brightening things up.
About 16" has fallen here and still coming down.
enjoy,
