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 don't know half of you half as well as I should like, & I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve

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.
