Dear Diane,
Now we feel winter's breath. Birds that
haven't been bothering with our
feeders are suddenly all over them. I love
the winter newcomers, the juncos and pine
siskins Winter? Bring it on!

OK, your stock portfolio is in the tank,
you're wondering about your job, and the
equity in your house has dropped in value.
Hard times are here. But we can count our lucky
stars that we're birders. Here are seven
reasons that birdwatching is a great investment.

| Ask Diane about a winter bird feeding |
|

I've started feeding the birds in winter, and
a few kinds are coming. How can I get more
different kinds of birds to visit my feeders?
--Linnea Poe, Minneapolis
One of the nicest things about winter in a
cold climate is being inside a warm house,
looking out at the wild birds at the feeder.
They'll entertain you all winter long. All
you have to do is provide them with what they
need to get through the winter.

The elm is full of life — surprising,
for a dead tree.
It serves as open mic, nightclub,
nursery for babies, fast-food restaurant, and
hot singles scene.
Since it's not positioned where it's going to
fall on our house or where it's likely to do
damage, we're leaving it as is. As far the
birds are concerned, it's the best tree on
the place!
