Many backyard birds are clever food hiders, or “cachers,” storing seeds, nuts and even insects in tree crevices, under bark or in the ground to eat later! 🌳🥜 These smart birds use landmarks, the sun and even each other to keep track of their stashes, helping them survive tough winters and busy seasons. ❄️☀️ Watching them work is like seeing a tiny treasure hunt happen in your backyard! 🔍✨

🎃 Did you know that Halloween can bring toil and trouble for birds?
Autumn is here, and while we’re decorating with gourds and ghouls, birds are navigating one of the busiest and most challenging times of year. Fall migration brings millions of birds through our neighborhoods, where they can encounter hazards including window collisions, artificial light, and toxic pesticides.
Help make your yard more treat than trick for birds this Halloween. Skip the fake spider webs outdoors, which can entangle birds and other wildlife. Treat your windows with decals, exterior screens, bird tape, or other methods that make glass more visible and reduce collisions. Avoid toxic garden chemicals, which can harm birds directly and reduce the insects and other food sources they rely on. And turn off unnecessary outdoor lights at night, which can disorient migrating birds and increase the risk of collisions.

The windows in our homes and offices can be hazardous for birds. Birds cannot readily distinguish the presence of a pane of transparent glass from an unobstructed space or passageway and often fly into window panes causing injury or death. Click here to learn more: www.wbu.com/window-strikes

In the Northern Hemisphere, the First Day of Autumn is Tuesday, September 22. That's when the length of day and night are almost the same. Be sure your feeders are ready for some hungry birds that are either preparing or recharging for the longer nights.

The Blue Jay shown is an example of a North American bird working hard to find the additional calories needed to make it through autumn's longer hours of darkness. Which birds are visiting your backyard this season? Share in the comments.
