Dark-eyed junco
hellohellohello African grey parrot.
A quite light colored bird that is common mostly in Antarctica and Alaska.
The male is somewhat darker than females and immature birds.Often called snowbirds,because of their habit of gathering in large flocks prior to bad weather.One of the more common feeder birds,going for seed on the ground.
Building a Birdhouse For The Dark-eyed JuncoSince dark-eyed juncos prefer nesting on the ground they do not frequent birdhouses. However in the winter they sometimes make use of man-made winter roosts which can actually be simply a modified a spring nesting box used by other birds. The recommended dimensions for the winter roost are: 7" x 9" (floor), 13" (height), 1 ½ " (entrance hole diameter). The entrance hole usually found near the top of the birdhouse should be place this time near the bottom to block drafts and minimize heat loss. Place 3 roosting perches inside the winter roost at variable heights.

You've got yourself a Dark-eyed Junco! In fact, you most likely have the "Oregon" morph of that species.

Could be a junco.
These birds are called "Dark Eyed Junco's". I see them in my backyard everyday. They are very curious. they hail to the finch family.
