February is National Bird Feeding Month
With dwindling food supplies in the natural world, February is a critical time for birds. Providing Quality Food in your backyard feeders, Fresh Unfrozen Water in a heated birdbath and shelter from the wind will help birds survive. Please keep your feeders and birdbaths full so your birds know there is a reliable source of food and water available. The birds will thank you with their presence.
Great Horned Owls Nest in February
Dear Friend of Nature:
“In February Great Horned Owls are already sitting on eggs in their large nests. As I’m typing this, I heard their Hoo Hoo Hoo calls, loud and clear, back and forth outside my window in late January as they prepared for egg laying.
”Great Horned Owls will often use an old Red-tail Hawk or squirrel nest. Soon, use binoculars to check these large nests in wooded areas during the day to see if Great Horned Owls are nesting there. The female will be sitting low in the nest, her head up, ear tufts sticking up to look like cat ears! She will sit in the nest on her eggs for about 35 days.
“About 3 weeks after hatching the white downy chicks will be peeking above the sides of the nest. The young fledge by mid-April, but mom and dad will stick around to feed and teach them how to be owls on their own. By fall the chicks will be on their own for the most part.” —by Pat Ready
As always, Wild Birds Unlimited is a proud sponsor of the Great Backyard Bird Count (GBBC) which takes place February 13th-16th this year. We'll do our best to make sure you have everything you need to attract (food, feeders, birdbaths, nest boxes), view (binoculars), identify (books), and count the birds for science.
Happy Counting!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
