Use These Winter Plants For Birds

Plant these winter plants for birds that do not migrate from Montgomery County, MD in the winter

Installing winter plants for birds is a great way to attract them into your garden. Winter is a great time for bird watching. Even though there are many species that migrate south, there are still man around to enjoy. To sustain themselves, many birds must sustain themselves with berries rich in fats and antioxidents. Getting birds through winter takes more than bird feeders and brush piles. When the coldest days of the year set in, and most food sources are exhausted, berries can truly be a lifesaver.

Here are some plants will delight the birds by providing food and shelter during the winter and can turn your backyard into a sanctuary.
