OK, it’s snowing in Augusta and the birds are peering at me as if they are ready for a treat!
I just filled 4 feeders outside the kitchen window, and hung 3 fatty suet cakes in the crab apple tree. Before Christmas, I shared some leftover rose hips from last week’s arrangements by tying the hips with Christmas ribbon and placed in the “suet tree”.
Your perennials that have gone to seed are another natural food source. Although not very attractive, your swamp sunflowers and coneflowers provide snacks for the energy-burning birds outside. Unfortunately, the yard guys thought they were helping and cut all my “gone to seed” plants back…
Blessings from the Garden.
