didn't think anyone on a LCN forum besides me would be a birder. It's all we have. The real mafiosi have fixed all the pigeon races. The Eastern US is in a pretty volatile weather period -- lots of very low temperature and snow cover. The birds and their friends can use some help, in the form of food thrown out on the snow.

Yessir, M-Pete. The little guys have been emptying my feeders at a faster than normal pace. They have to burn more calories to keep warm...especially since they don't wear hats or boots.

My mother has always been an avid bird feeder, particularly in the winter. Learning from her, I always spread a lot of food around for the birds after snowfalls.

An article from Audobon magazine. How Birds Cope with Winter In this article is a word I've never seen or heard. In case you haven't either.... noun Torpor is the state of being inactive or having apathy.
