Mostly goldfinches

This is the snow before the current snow, but it does serve to show how any snow at all brings a certain voracity to small passerines.

They're picking up a more pronounced lemony colour, especially about the throat feathers. A month ago, they were all dull olive. I really need to read up on their molt strategy.
