As our fascination with birds has grown, so has our collection of feeders. What we really operate is a bird cafeteria. My husband often gets involved in long conver sations with the owner of a shop specializing in birdy things He will spend a large sum on a new feeder, then redesign it so the birds will like it better You might say he is a bird-brain in the truest sense - he thinks like a bird. As Winter approaches many people will be putting up feeders in their yards John Lmehan, U.S. Depart ment of the Interior or nithologist stationed at the University of Delaware, says you can attract a varie ty of birds by placing feeders at different locations and levels. For example, ground- It’s time to put the bird feeders out again level feeders attract birds such as sparrows and even pheasants. Chickadees and woodpeckers like higher feeders. However, you don’t really need feeders at all Just spreading food on the ground will lure many . aneties The best foods for attrac ting birds include a variety of seeds and grams - sunflower seed, peanut hearts, cracked corn, wheat, millet, canary seed, black (Niger) thistle. (We don’t use com because it attracts too many voracious nuisance birds such as grackles ) An occasional addition of suet, peanut butter, dried bread crumbs, and fruit peelings will provide a well-balanced diet for wintering birds. Many also enjoy fruit - ber ries, raisins, apple sections, cranberries. Mockingbirds are especially fond of orange sections.

Grit, such as sand or fine gravel, should also be pro vided. And don’t forget water. Birds may have trou ble finding it during the Winter when ponds and streams freeze A pan or bucket will do, but be sure the water level is high enough so that the birds can perch on the edge and drink To keep the water from freezing, you might want to invest in a small ther mostatically controlled bird bath heater. They’re available for under $l5. If you start feeding the birds this Winter, Lmehan says it’s important to con tinue until Spring because wild birds become depen dent on feeders. Some may even stay over the Winter because of the feeder. So if feeding is suddenly stopped, they may not be able to fmd enough food and could starve Keep this in mind if you go on a Winter vacation. Ask a neighbor to keep your feeders filled. A good field guide to birds will help identify your Winter visitors and greatly add to your emjoyment of them You’ll be surprised at the different species that will show up over a period of several months. Many ex cellent guides are available.
