Why do birds do what they do? After two days, snow continues come
down at a steady clip. A charm of 20 Pine Siskins, 4 American Goldfinches, and
4 House Finches have spent the last four hours by our house perched in the
tops of scrub oaks. They chatter steadily. Occasionally they dip down to the
feeders for sunflower chips or millet (they find niger less appealing).
Why, Cobirders, do these small bundles of energy choose to sit in
the most exposed places they can find during a steady snowfall?
