Great also for having the bird bath heater. Did you have these things when you lived in the SE or are they new since living in the PNW? Every little bit helps those feathered friends of ours.

I dutifully kept the hummingbird feeder thawed during the cold temperatures. I should purchase the heated one. I tried wrapping the feeder in bubble wrap - that does not work! I also have a heater for the bird bath.Phillip Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01546160918395373740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-18760337784275795262017-01-20T15:24:22.909-08:002017-01-20T15:24:22.909-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chickadee Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00698323800314994028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-28717630856699754622017-01-19T12:08:22.294-08:002017-01-19T12:08:22.294-08:00And here is the link to the article I mentioned. h...And here is the link to the article I mentioned. http://registerguard.com/rg/life/homeandgarden/35107757-72/humming-along-through--winters-cold.html.csp<br />Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17433260552425620150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-19546221658920716072017-01-19T11:44:04.129-08:002017-01-19T11:44:04.129-08:00Good to know, Beth, thank you.

My own feeders are being emptied at record speed this winter so I can only imagine how much greater the activity is up there in the frozen north. As I write a squirrel is trying to find his way into the feeders, all now effectively squirrel-proofed - he'll have to make do with what the birds leave on the ground (or my Gazanias).Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665807378090241608.post-87551239182006202462017-01-19T10:00:01.231-08:002017-01-19T10:00:01.231-08:00Fabulous - such beautiful little friends you have....Fabulous - such beautiful little friends you have. : )Stephiliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08562830870365561419noreply@blogger.com
