winter birds
Snowy weather visitors
Birds that remain in or migrate to a region during cold months.
Some species, like cardinals and chickadees, are year-round residents that become more visible at feeders when snow covers natural food sources.
Others, like juncos and certain sparrows, arrive from northern breeding grounds to overwinter in milder climates: The winter birds are back at the feeder.
