   Don’t Forget to Feed the Birds
     By Carolyn Oldham
 

Goldfinch  Winter months bring many new visitors to our
North Texas backyards. In addition to the usual resident birds ( chickadees, titmice, house finches, red bellied and downy woodpeckers, house sparrows, cardinals and bluejays ), you can also expect to see American Goldfinch, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, Brown Thrasher, Cedar Waxwing, Yellow-rumped Warbler, White-throated Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco, American Robin, Northern Flicker, and Sharp-shined Hawk.
     North Haven has everything you need to attract and feed your winter guests:

  • Thistle Socks and Feeders -especially for Goldfinches which arrive around Thanksgiving. Tie a yellow ribbon on it.

  • Suet Feeders -fill with suet cakes (Peanut, Berry, Almond) to provide fat to keep birds warm.

  • Peanuts offered in a Platform Feeder

  • Droll Yankee Tube Feeders with Seed Trays filled with Sunflower or Saff1ower.

  • Woodlink Hopper Feeders for the rustic look.

  • T.M. Huff Copper Tube Feeders for an elegant look.

  • Tom Torren contemporary bird feeders in blue-green copper on rusted iron bases.

     The best way to attract the largest variety of birds is to offer different foods in different types of feeders. A consistently fresh supply of water is also critical to a bird's survival. North Haven has all your bird feeding supplies.
