Also, the Roanoke Bird Club's URL has changed slightly since last I posted it. Contact the MFRL offices at 382-6970 for locations and times. As shocking as this may seem, birds may actually need more food during the summer than at any other time during the year, including winter. There are several reasons for this. The first reason is, well, winter.
Birds store fat for winter, when food is lean.
They use the fat they store, so they are accustomed to fewer food resources in the winter. Secondly, birds get moisture through their food, especially younger birds. In drought periods such as the one we are experiencing currently it may be doubly important to continue feeding birds, since other water sources may have dried up. Finally, migration is another reason to feed birds. Build Better Business is for you.
