Shows a Serious
Menace to Birds
Prompt Action Needed to Prevent
Large Toll of Minnesota Up
land Game Birds

Recent heavy SHOWS, general
throughout Minnesota, although
welcomed as an aid to rapidly de-
creasing water levels in the state,
are causing grave concern because
of the damaging effect on upland
game and insectivorous bird life.
The winter to date has proven al
most ideal for bird life but a mark
ed drop in temperature, consider
able snowfall recently and the re-
sultant accumulation of ice and
sleet have brought reports from
game wardens in many sections of
the state telling of the actual want
of birds.
Executives of the Game and
Fish Division realize the necessity
of prompt action in order to fore
stall a heavy toll in the ranks of
Minnesota's upland game birds.
The cooperation of sportsmen's
clubs, civic organizations and in
dividuals is needed in this worth
while project of feeding the birds
during the severe winter months.
The States game wardens will
lend every assistance possible in
the actual work.
The best methods for bird feed
ing are outlined in the January is
sue of the official publication of
the Division of Game and Fish. A
limited supply Of this number is
available for free distribution to
those interested. Copies will be
mailed while the supply lasts upon
receipt Of requests addressed to
the Division in the Old Capitol
Bldg, st Paul.
The give bushel of grain" idea
can now be applied to wild birds.
Prices are low and each additional
bushel used for this purpose will
proportionately aid agriculture.
Cold weather, sleet and snow,
while outstanding causes of bird
mortality, do not effect the birds
directly but indirectly by covering
or destroying their supply of ma
tural food.
The grain should be placed in
natural or artificial shelters at the
edge of brush or wood patches, the
shelters being arranged so that the
birds may escape in any direction
If attacked by enemies.
Reports of outstanding work in
winter bird feeding are reaching
division headquarters daily from
sportsmen's clubs and Director w.
d. Stewart urges that other groups
join in this phase Of wild bird con-
servation.
