Winter Birds How to Help Prepare Wild Birds for the Cold Winter Months

Winter birds, for when autumn progresses and you know winter will soon be setting in, it’s time to prepare wild birds for the cold ahead. Here are some tips for preparing these birds for the upcoming hard winter months ahead.

* Take down hummingbird feeders. Hummingbirds migrate, but if you leave your sugar-water feeder up past the time when hummingbirds migrate, they may neglect to fly south. The presence of a food source can fool the hummingbirds into staying in a climate too cold for them.

* Hang up bird feeders. Native birds will take a little while to recognize the food source you’re offering, so hanging up feeders in fall is a good way to show them where they can find food when winter sets in. If you want to build your own bird feeder, autumn is the time. Continue Reading Winter Birds How to Help Prepare Wild Birds for the Cold Winter Months Here

For most bird watching enthusiasts and bird watchers sighting an Atlantic Puffin is one of those rare sighting experiences. For these avid bird lovers, keeping an eye out for a rare sighting is of the utmost importance, and this bird is one of those rare finds that avid birders will cherish for a lifetime!

Observing one of these is a bird watcher’s dream come true because of the fact that they are not typically commonplace in the world. As the name suggests, they can only be found along the coast of the northern Atlantic Ocean and only during specific time frames of the year. If you are in the process of building a life list, or a set of goals, this is definitely one bird that will set you head and shoulders above the others.

The Atlantic Puffin is one of the most beautiful bird and they belong to the Auk bird family. It is a seabird, and this little bird survives by being a fisher in the ocean, often diving 50 feet or more to catch it’s own dinner. It is distinguished by its unique white lower body, which contrasts with it’s back and wings of midnight black. The head is black topped with white around the eyes and extending outwards to the beak. The beak is a magnificence of sweeping colors with yellow, black and red being the dominant colors, and the colorings lead to the nicknames ‘clown of the ocean’ and ‘sea parrot’ for this bird.
