They didn't huddle anywhere I could see. Flock of ten visiting my porch daily until the cold snap...have only seen two since, but their visiting is always erratic.

Same here in Central Boulder. Feeding longer and more frequently than usual and keeping warm in a little clump. Interesting that they arranged themselves side-by-side, alternating head-tail-head-tail; maybe to minimize seams in between?

How interesting! I had the same experience in NW Denver (Jefferson County, just east of Standley Lake). I've never seen them huddled up like this. I noticed this bunch earlier today. I couldn't believe it when the center one just jumped on top of the others. Temp was -6 at the time.Also, we only usually see them about every week or two at our feeders, but yesterday and today they have been here 4-5 times per day. They must be hungry because they didn't budge when I had to step outside and just kept eating.

Doing the GBBC this weekend at home in NW COS, and mostly seeing the regulars, but this behavior was new to me. We see our local flock multiple times per day, year round, but I guess it was never as cold as the past two days when we observe them. Yesterday we saw groups of 2, 3, and even 5 huddled together in the cold, but this pic today was the best.
Enjoy togetherness. Happy Valentines Day,
