Spring is an important season to feed birds because some species have their energy depleted aIer a long migration, some are giving birth and then gathering food for their babies as well as themselves, and some are waiting for the foods they tend to depend on that are less available earlier in the season.

o Replace some lawn with some plants that are native to your environment, the more lawn replacement, the better. Especially consider
plants that support native pollinators like insect, butterfly, and bird populations. Caterpillars are an especially important food source for
birds. Look for native plants where caterpillars are likely to flourish.
