Here are the best ways toattract birds to your yardall year long.
Winter
Winter is one of the most pivotal times to supply a steady food source for birds.
With the temperature dropping and insects dying, it can be a challenging time for birds to stay healthy.
This is also nesting season for many species, so birds are preparing nests for their future hatchlings.
The erratic weather also brings birds to your feeders in the spring.
Eggs are beginning to hatch, so birds will be vigilant about finding good food sources.
“Birds will be extra hungry in the summer feeding themselves and their new hatchlings,” King-Cortes says.
