March Bird Feeding Tips
 | Eastern
Bluebird |
|
It’s bluebird time. Make sure all your birdhouses are cleaned and ready for bluebirds and other new occupants. For the safety of birds, mount birdhouses on poles with baffles so predators like racoons cannot climb the poles and reach the birdhouse. Bluebirds will be flying around investigating potential nesting spots. When the male finds a good birdhouse that is in the right bluebird habitat of an open grassy area, he will sing and wave his wings from the birdhouse to attract a female. To learn more about attracting bluebirds, click here.
Keep bird feeders filled. At this time of year there is a dwindling supply of natural food such as berries and seeds, so birds may rely on your feeders even more.
Birdwatching Tips
Bundle up in winter, grab your binoculars, and look for birds. You may see Red-tailed Hawks sitting by the sides of roads hunting for voles. Cedar Waxwing flocks wander widely all over the United States in winter, searching for berries. In coastal areas look for wintering sea ducks, such as scoters.
