Blue Jay with feathers puffed up to keep warm looking for food by Spillville

Male Northern Flicker braves the snow and cold.

Female and male downy woodpeckers at my suet feeder. Suet is a great energy food for birds.

male cardinal in our snowy pine trees

Male cardinal knows where to find his feeder at my home Wed jan 7

Male northern flicker takes a drink from my heated bird bath. Flickers rarely come to feeders unless extreme cold

Northern flicker at heated birdbath getting a drink- In the dead of the winter birds are in need of water since creeks and rivers are froze over.

Our State bird the American Goldfinch loves sunflower seeds

You can attract all kinds of birds at your feeder like this redheadedwoodpecker and makes the winter.
