Well, this won't be much of a description. They're smaller than a robin, not as small as sparrows. Lots of white on the breast with black speckles. Seems like there's a spot of red showing on the head, maybe just above the beak, which is woodpecker long.

Anything else, I'd just be making it up. I'll see if I can find a pic on the web. Later, unless you can come up with something. I'm due in a meeting in 30 minutes.

<<Describe the markings for me. I love identifying birds.>>

I looked out the window today and saw about 20 birds flying 1/2 mile away. My mind said Bluewing Teal from the way they were flying. Too many days in a duck blind.

We have a bird that shows up during cold winters. Kind of on the small side and is light grey and white. When we get snow with a lot of blowing I'll see 3-6 of them on the backside of a low drift laying in the snow. I asked around and they are some kind of Bunting and they are behind the drifts waiting to eat snow fleas that look like grains of pepper and come out during blizzards. It's the truth as odd as it seems.
