The snow cover is bringing birds I don't usually see in my yard, at least not this time of year. Have a large mixed flock of common grackles, brown-headed cowbirds (which I usually only see in my yard in summer, though they do both winter here, plus two red-singed blackbirds, one of which has white tail feathers. Red-wings are common here around ponds and wetlands but these two are the first I have ever seen in my yard.
