We get the winter finches here in Oklahoma, too. I recently took pics of some at the feeder during our recent blizzard. One that I thought was a finch, turned out to be a warbler (female yellow-rumped) that I'd never seen at the feeder before. Got the name changed in my Flikr set, but still saved as finch on hard drive.

Warblers are only seen in summer here. I've never seen a yellow-rumped warbler. My favourite is the Yellow Warbler. This bright little guy is very vocal, and mostly all the pictures I see of him he has his mouth open in song. This isn't a great shot, but there he is, singing his little heart out!

First robin of spring, anyone? It's still snowy and cold here! See the snow on the staghord sumac?

My best tip...take your selected weapon (lens/camera combination) and PRACTICE...I find t endlessly frustrating just trying to tak pics at my backyard feeder...
