Just a reminder, birds are depending on your bird feeders to get through the winter.
You think it's cold outside? Imagine what it's like for these small birds, that have to eat a lot and often to keep their metabolism up. They are outside all the time!
Fun fact: chickadees have a very amazing way of conserving their energy during the winter months. When they sleep, they lower their body temp to a low as 40 degrees! That way, they don't need to use as much energy to keep themselves alive during the night.
