Winter Wren

From U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Midwest Region:

The winter wren delivers a powerful song. When comparing weight to song, it’s even more powerful than a rooster!

Blue Jay

From USFWS_Migratory Birds:

Are you feeling the mid-winter blues? Winter can actually be a great time to get out and see some birds. Bare trees reveal nests and and birds perching in the branches, and the crowds are smaller than in the warmer months. You can visit a nearby park, or even bring some binoculars on a stroll around the neighborhood.

Osprey

From USFWS_Migratory Birds:

Ever have a day where you just couldn't catch any fish? Imagine if you had to do it without any rod, line or hook, and you had to dive in and catch it yourself! That is exactly what Osprey do for their dinner every day. They have the incredible eyesight and speed to not only spot a fish from 200 feet up, but dive down, submerge completely and catch it. Osprey can be found across the U.S. but never too far from water, as they feed almost exclusively on fish. Fishing: it's for the birds!
