Bird on a Branch #1

Every winter, we have these birds that come in droves all flying around the house.  They cover the trees and bushes and all the available surfaces.  I shot them last year as well.  I don’t know what they are but they’re interesting to photograph.  This year they came while it was snowing and I was lucky they were so close to the house because I was able to shoot them without going out.

Have I mentioned that I am not a fan of winter?
