Winter is coming, and so are the sparrows! As the weather cools down, these seed-eating birds flock south to spend the winter safe from snow. They may not be flashy, but sparrows have a subtle charm for those willing to look. #BeakOfTheWeek #WildlifeWednesday 📸 Joe Liggio

One of our prettiest winter birds has arrived: the American Goldfinch! These cheery finches gather in huge flocks to seek out seeds from a wide range of plants. Listen for their distinctive flight call: “po-TA-to-chip!” #BeakOfTheWeek #WildlifeWednesday 📸 Christine Mansfield

Even a lifelong birder gets a thrill from seeing Eastern Bluebirds! While bluebirds live in Houston all year, they only visit the Arboretum in the winter. We spotted a family of them this week catching insects in the savanna. #BeakOfTheWeek #WildlifeWednesday 📸 NPS | N. Lewis
