Winter Birding

Woodpecker photo by Carrie Taylor 2008

Chickens aren't the only birds enjoying a home at Morning Meadows. This woodpecker is having a breakfast of suet and sunflower seeds just outside the kitchen window. In addition to the suet blocks, several bird feeders are kept throughout the lawn and barnyard to encourage birds to become a part of our eco-system. The insect control that they provide from spring through freeze earns them a treat in the winter time. Throughout the winter we will be visited by a variety of finches, sparrows, chickadees, cardinals, bluejays and more.
