Check out these things, happening this month!

What a great start to the year with some great things to look forward to in the First month! - Happy Birdwatching!

• Project FeederWatch continues, www.birds.cornell.edu/pfw

• Watch for mixed flocks of birds to feed on winter berries, poison ivy and cedar trees. It's in birds' natural instinct go towards these plants, so to have the natural native plants for them is important.

• Now through late March is a difficult time for birds; providing food and an open source of water is important. Make sure to try our Super Winter Blend mix of seed to give them the extra boost of Fat and Protein they need during the cold nights!

• During the first or second week of January, the first returning Purple Martins will be seen along the coast.

• Squirrel mating season. The momma Squirrels are more inclined to suffer through eating the HOT PEPPER seed due to making sure her babies are fed.

• Waterfowl are present on the coast or on deep-water lakes.

• Coastal states host many wintering hummingbirds that need a reliable source of nectar.

• During late January or early February, Great Horned Owls will be sitting on their eggs. If you listen closely at dusk you'll hear the owls talking to each other.

• Black-crowned Night-Heron nesting begins.
