Does anyone recognize this guy? He/she showed up for just a few days in January during a very cold spell.
Thanks

He's Sialia currucoides, mountain bluebird; lucky you!

Thanks...I wish he'd stayed longer, I think he was attracted to the water kept unfrozen for the dogs. Everything else was thickly frozen over. It was actually my neighbor who spotted him, and just loved the coloring.
Thanks again.
