Backyard Wintertime Nature in New Jersey.

Birds of the Day viewed from my backyard patio: White-throated Sparrow, Red-winged Blackbird, and Northern Cardinal. The small brown bird are difficult to identify. Thom Hogan used to call them LBJ’s (little-brown jobs). It is amazing how different the female Red-winged Blackbird is from the male adding to the difficulty with identification.
