Spring

Female cardinal Spring is the time to adjust your bird feeding system to accommodate springtime migrants, as well as the winter birds and permanent resident birds that have been visiting your feeders all winter.

The most delightful aspects of spring bird feeding are the variety of species and the stunning spring breeding plumages.


The bird-feeding techniques discussed here are included in a book by Carrol Henderson, DNR Nongame Wildlife Program Supervisor, Wild About Birds: The DNR Bird Feeding Guide. This book is available from Minnesota's Bookstore (1-800-657-3757).
