Here is a better view of the unknown birds. The males on left, female left in the right animation. The females are drab, with striped undersides. I believe they are warblers, but I didn't think any stayed the winter. Some males show more yellowish throats than others. If you know what this bird is, please say!
If you watch often enough you may see nuthatches, chickadees and hopefully blue jays as well as various finches. A peregrin falcon, unfortunately, dines here or near often.
At last! I have identified a group of little birds that have made our yard their home. These birds:
are PINE SISKINS found here:
