Upgrade the Menu: Switch to high-fat, high-calorie foods like black-oil sunflower seeds, peanuts, and suet.
Provide Fresh Water: Keep a clean bird bath or water feature active to attract both migrants and residents.
Maintain Cleanliness: Clean your feeders every two weeks and clear away discarded seed hulls to prevent the spread of harmful bacteria.
Keep Feeders Up: Leave feeders filled for at least two to three weeks after regular visitors seem to leave, supporting late stragglers without delaying natural migration cues.

Refresh Your Bird Feeder for Fall!

It’s officially fall, which means it’s time to stock up on high-energy food for our local and migrating bird populations! Feeding birds during this time frame provides critical nutrition as natural insects and summer food sources begin to fade. This will help migrating birds do so successfully, and resident birds get through the harsh winter months!
