I went to Menan ID early in the morning on Jan 31st 2016. My aunt Susan has a dome home overlooking the Snake river. She has a wide variety of birds at her feeders and today was no exception. They flew off when I went out, but were quick to come back as soon as I settled down and held still. This was a gorgeous morning.
American goldfinch and one of the many dark eyed juncos. 
American goldfinch waiting for a chance at the bird seed.
Adorable little Black capped chickadee at the feeder. This was his one chance. Usually a very large Cassin’s finch chased him away.

Winter tree decorated in little birds, mostly finches. This is a tree by our old Cliffdome home in Menan (http://www.monolithic.org/homes/featured-homes/cliffdome-then-and-now).
