[mou] Winter Feeder Birds are BACK!

[Matt Baumann]

It was an unusual winter for bird feeder type birds at my yard in Winona. 
The only birds I successfully attracted to a variety of feeders (thistle, 
sunflower, suet) were two downy woodpeckers. This was the case from November 
- March 25th. Around March 25, 2006, cardinals, house finches, mournig 
doves, chickadees, and juncos all appeared and are present today. My only 
theory is that with warmer Spring-like weather, some backyard feeders have 
not been stocked well. Wondering if anyone else has had a similar 
experience.
