KeleeEiselein Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 A few times in recent weeks these tiny birds have flown into our backyard between 2-3 dozen, feed for a little bit and then fly off... we are in Coastal Southern Oregon. 85112B84-049E-4E13-ADC3-23880D7A5154.MOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I can't help with the ID but someone should be able to call it. And I hope you're stocked up with whatever they're eating! ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
