Those are red winged blackbirds. Every year around first snow we get 2 or 3 flocks that will stop by briefly (a few days each). Then they're gone until spring.
When the snow is hard on top, we'll throw extra feed around the feeders so they all can get some. We buy 40#'s of feed at a time from Agway about once a month. It does have some cracked corn in it along with a wide variety of seeds.
