Even though the weather cannot decide whether it is Winter or Spring, the sound of birds singing is a sure sign of Spring. For those looking to attract the feathered messengers of Spring a few websites offer tips and tricks on what types of feeders and seed to use.
The Minnesota DNR offers information of the types of feeders and seed to use based on what season it is. They also give recommendations for deterring unwanted visitors. You can also order the information in book form.
Minnesota Birds has a variety of information related to attracting wildlife. You can learn about not just feeders and seed choices, but also about how the types of plants and landscaping that will attract certain birds. You can also email them your birding questions.
National Bird Feeding Society provides information on bird feeding around the country. They have information on nests, habitats, feeders, seed and more. A great site to check out for those looking to go beyond the basic feeder and sunflower seeds.
The Minnesota Ornithologist's Union is the place to head to identify the birds that flock to your new feeders. You can also report your sitings and see where other birds are often found.
Spring will arrive like it always does, but this year you can insure that it brings with it a chorus of well-fed birds.
