Tips to Attract Winter Birds

6 More Ways to Attract Winter Birds

1. Find the Right Feeder Spot: To get the most winter bird traffic, place feeders at varying heights and locations.

2. Get Crafty: Make a wreath or small container garden and decorate it with birds’ favorite foods.

3. Record It: Keep a bird journal. Jot down important details when you spot a new species.

4. Be Messy: Birds appreciate a little garden debris, like seedpods, leaf piles and fruit that fell from trees.

5. More Seed!: An extra large tray or hopper feeder holds more seed, which means you’ll fill it less often. It’s a win-win!

6. Think Shelter: Place feeders near trees and shrubs so birds can take shelter from predators.

National Spaghetti Day

It's National Spaghetti Day.  Here is a recipe to try.  It looks like a combination of spaghetti and lasagna.  Either way it looks good to me.

Festival of Sleep/ Chocolate Covered Cherry Day

Today you have your choice of two.  Festival of sleep or chocolate covered cherry day.  Can I have both?  A chocolate cover cherry before I take a nap!!! 

Pantone Color Of The Year

Lots of people like blue so this should be a popular color this year.  A little dark for me and not a lot of blue flowers in nature.  The flowers in this picture have all been dyed blue.  

Happy New Year

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in 2020!!
