It’s been a quiet week for bird reports with the hot weather.
Peanuts have been in high demand with the large amounts of chickadees reported
around Nanaimo. Numerous reports of various woodpecker species have come in,
especially for those with suet feeders
White Crowned Sparrow juvenile jumping from our store bird bath on
route to one of our feeders after a drink
Remember: Everyone needs water, birds included. In this dry
weather putting out a small dish of water will help our feathered friends keep
hydrated this summer. And the addition of water to your backyard will help
attract bird species that don’t eat bird seed.
