ATTENTION

Our eyes and ears should be open and alert to the natural wonders that surround us every day. Take time to look out our windows to see the birds that visit us and open our windows to hear them. Walk around whatever space we have to enjoy the birds in nature. Every day, work on improving our powers of observation.

ACCEPTANCE

Nature happens. We cannot MAKE natural things happen (or NOT happen). We can create habitats to encourage natural things to happen around us, but there are no guarantees.

RESPONSIBILITY

Birdfeeding comes with responsibilities to the birds and the environment we share with them. If you are unwilling to accept these responsibilities, you shouldn’t feed the birds. We also have a responsibility to share these natural wonders with the next generation.

This is a common sight in my yard in late spring: Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers grabbing masses of Bark Butter from the feeders, and then flying off with beaks overflowing. This is usually a sure sign that they are taking these gobs of high-fat Bark Butter back to their young.

And I know that within days, I'll be able to see their young, like the juvenile male below, cleaning the last little bits of Bark Butter off my feeders!

Buy Bark Butter at Wild Birds Unlimited - Saratoga Springs NY, at your local Wild Birds Unlimited, or online.
