We've been living through the coldest month ever recorded in many Maine communities. Also, the amount of snowfall this past month has been record setting as well. Many of us have had difficulty driving in the snow, heating our homes and so on.

I noticed over the past few weeks that the amount of birds seemed to be increasing. I thought it was quite odd with all of these snowstorms and record cold weather.

I may come across as 'crusty' but I have a soft spot for wildlife, so this weekend I picked up a small bird feeder and a ten pound bag of feed. I hope all of those birds I've seen can benefit from it and even if the squirrels and deer want to have some of the bird seeds, go for it.

Temperatures are looking like they'll be 10 to 20 below on Monday night.
