NATURE NUGGET: Try this trick when feeding birds: put seed in your hand and call out “PSSH, PSSH, PSSH” to the birds. They come in closer to check out the emergency sound you made and may just land on your fingertips to eat seed right out of the palm of your hand! Either way, be sure to feed the birds this season as winter progresses because food pickings become slim.
