Two of the species are American Robins (no...they don't go south...they go west to Oregon!) and Canada Geese.
We have both species here during the other seasons of the year, but the number count during winter increases for both species tremendous. For the robins, flocks of thousands can be found in the Juniper woods of the area, and water holes throughout the region have their own groups of geese.
The photos below were taken several miles north of my place. I was looking for a Snow Goose reported in the area, but didn't find it. I did find lots of Canada Geese though.
Misty Dawn's Camera Critter Meme is a great way to see critters of all types. Go to the Meme homepage here and check out more entries. Then join the fun and let the world see your critters!

Those are nice looking geese..
Mine is up now too
Nice shot of the Geese, some people are lucky to find some different kinds of geese mixed in with the large flocks.
I miss the geese, they have all pretty much left here
great wide angle shot!!
We still have geese here in Canada. These must be the ones from further north because they are not in a hurry to travel south. LOL
We get both here in Michigan all winter. If I were a migratory species, this is not where I'd head as the days got shorter - and colder.
What a nice way to welcome in winter - great shot!
Nice photos. We have lots of Juncos around our home!

Wow, a whole field of geese!
... "Simplicity is beautiful"

Happy CC

I think our birds from (MI) go down south it seems like it is a long way for them to go west ^_^ just my thought. Happy weekend!

I can almost hear the geese!
Greetings from Minnesota! I too love the arrival of the juncos. Usually a lot of Canada geese remain until all our lakes freeze.
Great post.
Canada Geese rock (but I'm biased!).
I played too :)
lovely shots
My entry this week : in HERE. I hope you have time to visit. Thanks
We have such problems with Canadian geese here that won't go home!
I love geese. I love their flight, their honking, their greedy ways - I'd be sad if I thought I'd never see wild geese again.
I personally know that you were disappointed to not see a Snow Goose, but it wasn't a complete loss! Canada Geese are still great subjects!
