The low this morning was -22 degrees F! And it's supposed to be even colder tomorrow morning.
So, I filled the bird feeders with sunflower and thistle seeds and poured cracked corn on the ground for the birds. All 7 suet feeders were full, but the suet felt like a rock. That didn't stop the woodpeckers from pecking away at it!
We saw one resident Pheasant at the corn under the White Spruce tree. There are a few branches missing on the south side of this spruce, so it's a great place to leave corn or seeds. The surrounding branches on the north, east and west sides of the tree offer great protection from the weather and predators.
But, what seems to bring in the birds almost as much as the free food is the water. We keep a heater in the little bird pond all winter and the birds flock to it.
