Recent storms have been tough on all of us, but especially for birds, whose main food is probably buried beneath a couple feet of snow.

You'll see plenty of juncos, sometimes called snowbirds, around feeder this time of year. Juncos spend most of the year in Canada, and then fly down to the more 'temperate' climates of the U.S. to spend the winter. They are ground feeders, so be sure to put some seed in a container on the ground that they can find.
