Prepare Now for Birds' Winter Needs
Fuel, Protection & Hydration

Food / Fuel
For winter, birds will change the kinds of foods they eat. Instead of insects and fruits, birds eat more seeds and nuts. Often, the food birds eat in the day help build up fat reserves that are used throughout the night to keep warm. Offer suet, Bark Butter, Bird Food Cylinders and blends with nuts to help birds maintain their high metabolic rate and stay warm.

Feeder Location and Shelter
During harsh weather birds favor feeders protected from the weather. Place your feeders near cover, such as evergreen bushes or trees, densely branched shrubs, brush piles or hollow logs, so birds can duck into it to get out of weather or escape from predators. You can even create a lower wind break to help your ground-feeding birds.

Water
Birds need water to maintain their metabolism and their feathers for effective insulation. Besides helping birds properly digest food, water helps birds keep their feathers clean and in top condition. Research has shown that a chickadee with well-maintained feathers can sustain a 70°F layer of insulation between the outside air and its skin.
Use a heated bird bath or add a heater to your existing plastic, metal or stone bird bath. This will help make some water available even on the coldest days and attract birds that may not visit feeders often.

Dark-eyed Juncos

are neat, even flashy little sparrows that flit about forest floors of the western mountains and Canada, then flood the rest of North America for winter. They’re easy to recognize by their crisp (though extremely variable) markings and the bright white tail feathers they habitually flash in flight. Dark-eyed Juncos are among the most abundant forest birds of North America. Look for them at your feeders or on the ground beneath them. Juncos are the "snowbirds" of the middle latitudes. In Wisconsin, they appear as winter sets in, and then retreat northward each spring. Mostly seed eaters, when foraging, Dark-eyed Juncos typically hop (rather than walk) on the ground, pecking or scratching at the leaf litter, or very low in underbrush, gleaning food from twigs and leaves. In flight, they flap continuously and pump their tails so the white outer tail feathers flash. Flight is very agile as the bird maneuvers through its tangled environs.
During winter, Dark-eyed Juncos form fairly large flocks, and also forage with other sparrows and bluebirds.
