Winter Birds?

We didn't see many birds last winter, and didn't see many in the yard this summer, not even the Song Sparrow that we've always had.  So I was pleased this morning when a little flock of what looked like winter birds flew through, high in the maples.  I grabbed my monocular to look and they were Downy Woodpeckers, not just one or two, but several!  The photos are limited shooting just with a camera.

At least you can see these are Downies.

Another stopped high in a maple.

And then another bird joined it, partly hidden by a branch, but behaving like another woodpecker.

It turned toward me and I saw it was a Junco, though I don't usually spot them high in a tree.  They are normally ground feeders.  There was also a Chickadee or too as well.  In any case I take it a good omen for this year's winter birds; hopefully we'll see lots!
