Same here in Algiers. Black-chinned, Rufous, Buff-bellied. Surprise Spotted sandpiper. A few Goldfinches, House finches. An Orange-crowned warbler desperately using the hummingbird feeders. I guess its other sources of food are not available in this weather. Keeping the snow off the feeders is an ongoing process and a pain in the neck!
