Birdy Vantage
Let your backyard birdwatching take flight!
Autumn is finally here and with it comes cooler days, and trees that transition into vibrant shades of red, yellow, and brown.
While I relish the cooler temperatures and revel at the trees taking on various colors, I recognize that the changing season is a fragile time for wild birds because food becomes less abundant for them.
Providing nutritious bird foods rich in proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats, and minerals will help birds sustain the high amount of energy needed to prepare for migration or coming winter.
Some foods I like to leave out for my backyard birds are peanuts, black oil and stripped sunflower seeds, suet, and dried mealworms. These food items are rich in fat and protein and provide my backyard birds the energy they need.
