Should you take your bird feeders down for the summer?

Four reasons why it’s a good idea to feed birds during summer ....

1. Birds that visit feeders during summer include species not present during winter. Depending on where you live, you may be visited by birds that will be hundreds or thousands of miles away later in the year.
2. During summer, birds that look drab during winter are sporting their colorful breeding plumage.
3. Once they’ve nested and their offspring have fledged, adult birds will introduce their young to your bird feeders and birdbaths. 
4. Warmer temperatures encourage closer viewing of backyard birds. If you regularly sit on a patio or deck, the birds at nearby feeders and baths will get used to you and go about their business while you watch them. There’s no better way to enjoy a summer day.

Contrary to popular myth, birds won't become dependent on your food & "forget" how to hunt - give them some credit! But if you can supplement their diet - especially when it's hot & worms & other live feed are difficult to find in the hard ground, your feeders & baths will be a lifeline to them & their fledglings.
