Not very Eastery-looking outside! It would make a perfect Christmas Eve, though! :) Here's a group of 4 juncos (or was it 3 juncos and a sparrow - can't quite make out the fourth guy there), getting some seeds before they get covered up by the snow.
This one turned out blurry - but he was such a cute little guy, I had to post it anyway. He's all puffed up to keep warm, and his little dark grey top looks like a dinner jacket - so cute!
