To them as can get out.. remember to fill your birdfeeders...

When the ground is frozen and covered with snow. They really gots nowheres else to go, poor things.

The North wind doth blow and we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then, poor thing?
He'll sit in a barn and keep himself warm
and hide his head under his wing, poor thing.

1. Beautiful pic and poem

I am in the NW, and my feeder is full.

I want to get some suet, but the markets nearby only have the Morningstar Scotts brand and I won't purchase anything from them after they poisoned their bird seed.

4. I've seen 2 little songbirds at our (full) feeder/suetcake holder DURING the bizzard! Poor things!

And 2 or 3 crows out back by the compost heap at the edge of the woods, where I left them some puppy kibble. (They already pore through the compost heap daily, so I knew they'd find it there.) http://www.crows.net/food.html

They all really must be hungry to get out in the middle of this mess for something to eat!

5. The feeders are always full, the heated birdbath needs refilling often.

Beautiful poem.

6. When I leave the feed store

I sometimes think the birds eat better at my house than I do. I have about 20-25 feeders depending on the time of year. And since putting out 4 heated bird baths, I get even more birds. I firmly believe that when birds see others they come to check it out. I even enjoy the bird hawks feeding at the bird feeders.
