The Garden Bug: Feeding birds in winter

By Brenda Weaver

Help your feathered neighbors by providing consistent food sources for them in the coldest months. Suet (an animal-fat mixture) is loved by nuthatches, woodpeckers, titmice, chickadees, cardinals, warblers, wrens and most insect-eating birds.

Mealworms, cracked corn, nyger seed, peanuts and sunflower seeds are also good choices.
