More Winter Birds

Snowing this morning, but yesterday was sunny. The pine grosbeaks — looks like four pairs — were joined by a flock of evening grosbeaks. I saw a pair of mourning doves that have been around all winter scuttling around under the feeder; big flock of goldfinches with some red polls mixed in at the thistle feeders; the usual chickadees flickering in and out of the spruces by the creek; my regular downy woodpecker & his big cousin the hairy woodpecker; then, in the afternoon, a couple of starlings, a grackle, and three bluejays.
