Introduction

Just outside your frost-framed windows, half a dozen fat, squabbling chickadees heartily partake of this morning’s offering. You smile to yourself. Not only do you enjoy the company of your feathered friends, but you also have the satisfaction of giving Nature a hand when she needs it most.

Feeding wild birds is a wonderful way to enjoy and study nature. Millions of people every year set out winter feeders to entice winged wildlife to their backyards. Some of these feeders are gleefuly accepted by hordes of hungry birds, some are patronized, but much of the food is never consumed, and still others are virtually ignored.

A supply of natural food sources, such as fruit- or nut-bearing trees or shrubs, will also find favor among the feathered. A reliable supply of water, especially during extreme weather conditions, is highly appreciated.

Though most folks associate bird feeding with the ravages of winter, getting the most from your feeder really means offering prime goodies all year round. This is what makes some feeders the main attraction. Having a regular stop, well-stocked with easy pickin’s, may well be the reason many birds choose to overwinter, but it can also keep yearly residents interested throughout the seasons.

The types of birds that come to your feeder will depend on your geographic location, the time of year, and the types of feeders and food you provide. Different birds have different
