When I was growing up in SC the local name for those was snow birds. We rarely saw them except accompanying snow or cold weather, then there were lots.
Endearing bird portrait, this one. I admire all of you who you manage to get little birds thus nicely and close-up into your frames. The few red berries really help this photo lots, I think, I like their tiny splashes of colour they are adding to a photo that otherwise is quite similar in colour all over.

Yep nice shot...mebbe bump the contrast just a bit. These little birds even hang out through the winter in the far reaches of northern Canada...below the tree line of course. Tough little guys.
