Birds migrating through in winter, and those who stay in our areas year-round, can use some help during the cold winter months. According to Audubon, we can support the winter birds by:
(1) making a brush pile in the corner of the yard--it will offer shelter & night roosting places,
(2) leaving the leaves---make piles under shrubs & trees, and they will harbor bugs and spiders for birds to eat,
(3) creating a mini-meadow where grasses & weeds can grow; the plants here that naturally go to seed will feed many of the seed-eating birds.
