An Evening Grosbeak in the snow

The Chickadees, Bluejays and Nuthatches in our backyard stay year round.  For some of the other birds, the heavy snowstorm on Sunday and the cold temperatures left behind have prompted discussion about overwintering or heading for the south.  This Evening Grosbeak seemed to be weighing his options as he nibbled on twigs while perched in the bushes above the pond.

With the cold and the snow, I will not blame him if he takes flight soon.
