Mid-Atlantic Gardening: Snow Birds, 3 by Muddy1

That'll make a great trellis, and I bet a bird will nest in it after plants fill it! I'm trying to make a nesting spot by training Greenbriar to grow on a tomato plant support. Berries would be a nice plus, but I don't think that's going to happen because it's too shady.

This Mockingbird spent quite a while today hanging out on top my caged suet feeder and occasionally pecking at the suet planks on top. I think it liked being protected from the snow.

My daughter bought the huge seed cake in the 3rd photo. So far this Carolina Wren has been the only taker; it'll last for a long time unless a raccoon finds it!

Last photo: One of my makeshift feeding areas. I hauled that bamboo up the hill today and propped it against the fence for more shelter. This is the first year I've made brush piles for the birds; now that I know how much they use them, I'll do it every year. Plus, it's so much easier than bundling the brush to be picked up ; - )
