We regularly have both Myrtle and Audubon's attempt to overwinter in
the Wenatchee area, and survive weather at or below zero. They appear
to be feeding on fruit--the largest numbers are in apple orchards
with some fruit still on the trees or on the ground. It would not
surprise me to hear of individuals west of the divide in Montana.
