Feeding Wild Birds in September


September is here and many wild bird lovers in the cooler climates of the northern hemisphere begin to think about the birds that will soon be dining at their bird feeders.

I live in New York State (USA) so I definitely begin thinking about the cold winter coming. Putting seed out now may attract my feathered buddies and encourage them to stick around my house for breakfast, lunch - and dinner!

Yes, yes, - I've been putting food out all summer. But it's not the same.

Winter here where I live can be unkind to wild birds. So, I put out the seed now, they come - hopefully stay - and I enjoy the "bird-show" they put on.

And now's the time I begin think about it...

No-No Bird Feeder with Nuthatches
I like watching the birds eat sunflower kernels from my wire-mesh "No-No." The clingers and "upside-down" birds are especially fun to watch.

What kind of wild bird feeder will you choose?
