The 21st GBBC kicked off today (Friday, Feb. 16) and runs until Monday, Feb. 19 in backyards – and beyond – across the country.
Ornithologists tell us birds only get about 20 percent of their food needs from backyard feeders, but these feeders can be very important during periods of extreme cold or when ice covers food sources.
Feeding birds, where legal, doesn’t have to cost a lot of money when other alternatives are available.
Birders clearly are witnessing an irruption of great gray and boreal owls in places like Minnesota’s Sax Zim Bog this winter.
Watching birds for as little as 15 minutes could add to the scientific base of knowledge.
Bird-watchers might see migrants tunneling into local snowbanks to avoid the season’s wind and cold.
Take your bird-feeding responsibility seriously.
But the birds are particular about where they nest, which contributes to the uncertainty about their stay in Wisconsin.
Keep your feeder full, and pick up one or two of these charismatic, hungry species for your birder life-list during the coldest days of winter.
