The birds are flocking to my feeders due to the snowstorm blowing in tonight. Did you know birds can feel atmospheric pressure change in their bones hours before the storm? This persuades them to fill up on food before the snow begins. They will hunker down in the evergreens and thickets as the storm blows through. Remember to fill your feeder with fresh seed and brush away the snow after the storm to help our little friends.
The annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count occurred on December 12, 2009, in the Minneapolis area. But if you are a casual birder, home schooler, or classroom, there is still plenty of time to participate in the Great Backyard Bird Count scheduled for February 12 - 14th, 2010. You can participate in as little as 15 minutes one or more of the days, fill out your report, submit it online, and help scientists throughout North America track migration patterns and activity of birds. Check out their web page here: Great Backyard Bird Count
Enjoy your day!
