Start early in the autumn to prepare your yard for winter so birds can learn it is a safe place long before they are in desperate need.

Leave leaf litter in place in your yard for the food, water and shelter it can provide overwintering birds.

Choose bird-friendly landscaping that includes a selection of sheltering evergreen plants as well as plants that will provide fruit for a natural winter food source.

Offer a variety of foods at your backyard feeders to attract the greatest number of bird species to your buffet. By providing for birds' basic needs as seasons change, it can be easy to attract birds to your yard in winter so you can enjoy their company even when the weather is at its worst.
