Mockingbird at the Feeders
Maybe it's snowy weather, but have had a Northern Mockingbird at the feeders recently — a first for me.
Has anyone else been getting unusual feeder birds?

Just the Pine Siskins. Some Juncos have learned to use the peanut feeder, and Goldfinches are using the platform feeder.

A flock of a dozen or so Red-winged Blackbirds made an appearance at our feeders yesterday late afternoon. Also saw a female Cowbird. Alas–no siskins or redpolls for us.

Nothing unusual at our feeders…just millions of feathered friends flying in and out. Wish I could see some blue birds. I have other plans for the squirrels which I will not mention. Red bellied just came in…saw robins at Wyckoff Nature Center along with two vultures in a tree, turkeys, deer-pregnant, swans, geese, people. It really is pretty outside right now with gently falling snow but enough already. ENOUGH.
