How big were they?   size of a goldfinch?   size of a robin?

Billy

Hey Bud! Im going to say they were more like the robin. Seemed to have a
little
longer neck but that couldbe because of the full red head/neck that made
it appear
longer.I was going walking out the back road and was so upset with myself
for not
having my camera.  I usually have it but it was minus 5 and too cold to
have the
camera just hanging around my  neck.

I\m going to look again tomorrow if I can. Karen
