Enjoy Winter's Gifts At The Bird Feeder

Bird Feeder
"The ground under the feeder was covered with black oiled sunflower seeds and at least 50 pine siskins, shoulder to shoulder, were pecking away at the seeds. The finches pushed each other off the feeder and the juncos stayed to the outer perimeter."

Bird Feeders Bring Some Surprises

Bird Feeder

Rosaire Richard in Cocagne has been feeding birds in his yard for 25 years and never had a northern flicker visit his bird feeders in winter. He was therefore quite surprised to note three northern flickers last December 11, and wondered if maybe they were just tarrying a bit before migration due to the mild December.

Set out a good buffet and you may be in for a surprise
