Fall migration is here, which could mean some surprise visits from out-of-town birds to your backyard. To survive the journey and any adverse weather conditions, these winged travelers could use a little help! One way to help is to start feeding the birds in the fall. Throughout winter, continue to feed the local songbirds that don’t migrate. Here’s why:

• Many of birds’ natural food sources are frozen or become covered in snow.
• Food growth is further hindered by extreme weather.
• Lack of resources leads to greater competition for what little food there is.
• Human development continues to impinge on birds’ natural environment.
• With colder weather comes higher energy demands on birds.
