Bird Feeding Basics
Bird feeding can benefit birds and also provides great bird watching from your own backyard. The obvious time to feed birds is in winter when natural food supplies are scarce; however, additional species visit feeders during the spring and fall migrations, and also during summer while nesting.
Birds Migration
Have you noticed the absolutely astounding and fascinating phenomenon happening outside these days? Yes, it is migration time with millions of birds traveling to their spring/summer homes in the northern hemisphere (or their fall/winter homes in the southern half of the world.
Right now is the best opportunity to see birds that are not common to your area. Listed below are a bunch of migration facts.
How Do Birds Find Their Way?
Sighting (they don’t call it a “bird’s eye view” for nothing) features like rivers, coastlines, and mountain ranges.
Monitoring Earth’s magnetic field, apparently with their visual system and with tiny grains of a mineral called magnetite in their heads
Observing the stars
Using the sun for guidance
Smell
And probably following their neighbors (many birds migrate in large flocks)
