It is February already, the time goes so quickly, even at 36 degrees below!  It has been a cold week here in Wisconsin with some record setting lows.  As we break out of it this weekend, (seriously, a 60 to 70 degree swing in the temperature over 5 days!), the wildlife will start moving around and it is a great time to clean and refill your feeders. Barn in the Sticks has everything you need, from new feeders, to cleaning brushes and even bird seed and suet. 

Birds will also be in search of water, not only for drinking, but also to clean themselves.  In the winter, birds that stay clean are fluffier, and "fluffy" is a good insulation.  It is amazing that the animals survive in the frigid cold we had last week.  In Wisconsin, you will need a heated bird bath, and even that may not stay open on the coldest Wisconsin nights, but it will be open most of the time.  

It may feel like forever, but it won't be long until the days continue to get longer, and finally we will see those bluebirds and hummingbirds again.  Don't struggle with the same problems you had last year, add a drip proof, bee proof hummingbird feeder to your collection this year!  The Best-1 Hummingbird feeder is the best feeder on the market that I have tested.  Along with being bee and wasp proof, the red base comes apart easily for cleaning.  

Hoping Jimmy the groundhog doesn't see his shadow today!
