Title

Bird "feeder" - Helpful tip from George

Body

Bird "feeder"

Put peanut butter in cleaned-out egg shells. Makes a nice little cup in the snow and birds love it, especially the wrens since they don't seem to like black oiled sunflower seeds.

P.S. Branches that are iced over should be left to melt when the sun comes out. To remove snow from heavily laden branches, use a broom and gently shake with an UPWARD motion. I know this does not seem to be the natural thing to do; however, a downward motion tends to break branches. THINK SPRING!
