Birdie people - I need your help..

.. to identify these birdies. "Cause besides the normal robins, chickadees, Mourning Doves, starlings, grackles, etc. I have no idea.
These little ones have been taking to hanging around here the last couple of weeks. There is a flock of around 100 of them. The closest I can get is White breasted Nuthatch? Very neat little fellas to watch. Love their song. Very soft and sweet.
Sorry about the quality of the pics. My camera sucks sometimes.

It actually isn't that bad today. Only -9 C. And it's snowing, again. But it's a soft snow so it shouldn't be too bad.
Florida may be great but I would not be able to handle the heat in the summer months. There are days here when I have to head for cover.
Just gotta say I will keep my 19 acres and the peace and quiet.

Are they a little bigger than chickadees, 14+? In the one picture they look a bit like goldfinches but in the other they look more like snow buntings or longspurs If they're significantly bigger than chickadees (like more than a few cms longer) then they'd be something else....

If you go about half way down the page there is a pic of a snow bunting.

Looks too big to be a nuthatch. Perhaps they're Snow Buntings?
