Red-Winged Blackbird at Our Feeder during Snow Storm

I only fill my bird feeder when it is cold and there is a lot of snow. This red-winged blackbird seemed to appreciate the high energy seeds when snow covered his usual food supply.

 

I love their song and seeing them on top of fence posts or even talk weeds singing but always on the lookout for insects that, along with seeds, are an important part of their diet.

 

All our songbirds are lucky to live on an organic farm near thousands of acres of certified organic farmland and woodlands.

 

Other birds are not so fortunate. When a song bird eats an insect that died from a pesticide, the poison can kill the bird. That's why our chemical farming neighbors are not blessed with the abundance of beautiful birds that we have on our organic farm.
