By the Bird Feeder

I saw David Behm's post and it inspired me to keep an eye on the bird feeder just outside my window. We only use this feeder in the winter with hopes to keep the little birds satisfied. Below are some of the pictures I captured while the temperatures outside were sub-zero.
 This bird is a Junco. They are the most common bird around my feeder.
This is an American Goldfinch. It is darker in color in the winter than it appears in the summer season. 
This is a White-Breasted Nuthatch
 This is a Tufted Titmouse

This is a Chickadee

    Bravo, Chris!

    The species you show are some of the most common visitors to feeders whenever someone offers any/all of the following combinations of food:
    (1) suet
    (2) sunflowers (either is good, but black (rather than striped) is best)
    (3) niger seed

    In addition to the American Goldfinch, it is likely that we will see House Finch (and even Purple Finch) at feeders offering niger seed during winter months..
