Well, the cold has come. For some of us, the snow has too, and when the snow is here, the birds aren’t. But fortunately, not all birds have fled from the cold. Some chose to stay and snack on your bird feeder provisions over the winter months. What birds are these? Who would stay here in the cold and not fly down south where it is warmer?
Depending on where you live, you could have many or few birds at your feeder. Living in New England, I have birds like house sparrows, tufted titmice, dark-eyed juncos, cardinals, and blue jays. These birds are provided with a mixture of sunflower seeds and various other seeds, plus millet and a heated bath. Without the help of bird feeders, birds like these may not be able to stay around us during these frigid months of winter. So, if you don’t already have a bird feeder in your yard, I recommend you get one for you and the birds’ sake. And oh, what a treat it is to look out your window and watch these beautiful flying creatures live off of what you provide. Here are some of the birds that regularly visit my feeders:

Yes, many finches do stay during the winter, but what kind depends on where you live.
