In like a lion, out like a lamb...we can only hope!  It is maple syrup season in Wiscsonsin, and we just saw our first robins last week!  It won't be long now until the orioles and hummingbirds return and the goldfinch start transforming to their beautiful color. 

It is a great time of year to clean out your bird feeders and replace any hummingbird feeders that have started to leak or are not bee and ant proof.  If you need help finding the right hummingbird feeder, don't forget about our fantastic bee and wasp proof collection of Best-1 Hummingbird feeders.  Click on Best-1 see them!  We also stock the replacement parts for the hummingbird feeders.  

It is also the time of year to put up habitat for the birds and wildlife, including bat houses, bluebird houses and bluebird feeders.  Don't forget, if you want to attract more birds to your backyard, be sure to add water!  It could be as fancy as a little, shallow pond, or just add one of our beautiful bird baths.

Many people only feed the birds in the winter months, while I usually feed the birds year round...why?  Especially in the spring, you can catch migrating birds that you normally don't see.  It provides you with the benefit of seeing one...and provides them with the needed nutrition to continue their flights! 

Enjoy the outdoors!
