Oh, the weather outside is frightful. But the fire is so delightful. And since we've no place to go...

Well, you probably know the rest of the song.  Anyway, I can't help but think of my fine feathered friends when the temperature drops.  Birds can use a little help during the cold fall and winter months.  High-calorie foods can help them survive.  Consider offering high-fat, high-energy foods such as suet, peanuts and sunflower seeds.

Happy birding!
