We are very lucky we have so little snow with this cold snap we had this last week. I throw out a little grain when things get rough for the birds. Took a picture of a few that found it. 100's of birds driving in all in fields looking for something to eat.

I always added cheap bird seed (millet) to my grain to act like grit for digestion.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

You must not have many raptors out there....they wouldt stand a chance around here. I loved it years ago when you could still find enough to hunt.

I like throwing carcasses in the crick beside my house. Winter is hard on birds.

I put some alfalfa out for the deer, they're out during daylight now so you know they're hungry.

I always feel bad for all wildlife. Some years 2 to 3 feet of snow and holes all over in snow for then and big game to get to something to eat. Really sad some years.

I wish we could feed the critters here. I'm in a cwd zone so it's illegal. I used to really enjoy watching the deer all winter.

Same here! I would sit staring out the window for hours watching them. I think 23 is the most I had in the yard at one time. It made it easy to find sheds too.


I have nothing clever to put here.

We plant food plots that provide winter groceries or the deer. Depending on yield, we put out mixed grain for the deer. We feed the birds too.
