December Birdfeeding Tips
More birds will be coming to your bird feeders in colder weather after much of the available wild food has been eaten. Make sure you provide plenty of energy rich foods like suet, black oil sunflower, and bird seed mixes that contain peanuts, sunflower, and nutmeats.
Before and after snow storms birds feed heavily, so keep feeders well stocked during these times. Add bird bath heaters to your bird baths to keep the water ice free. Ask for bird feeding products on your Christmas or Holiday gift wish list. The gifts will provide enjoyment for you and be good for the birds.
Juncos: The Snowbirds Have Arrived
 | Dark-eyed Junco

Have the snowbirds arrived at your bird feeders? Dark-eyed Juncos are one of the most abundant species at winter bird feeders all across the country. They are called snowbirds because their dark gray and white plumage reminds people of a winter landscape—dark sky above with snow below. Attract junco flocks with mixed seed scattered on the ground or on platform feeders. To learn more about their interesting behavior at your bird feeder, click here.
