The Winter Birds shown on this page with the exception of the bald eagles were taken in our backyard.  We enjoy backyard birds year round by keeping them well fed and watered.  We have a heated birdbath to offer the birds a drink on the even the coldest day.  We go through over 2000 pounds of birdseed during the year; however, a lot of the seed is eaten by the deer that also frequent our yard.  We offer  both whole and cracked corn, which the pheasants, grouse and deer seem to thoroughly enjoy.  Suet is a favorite in the winter months for the woodpeckers, chickadees and nuthatches.
