Page 18 The INDEPENDENT, Novwnbw 1, 2000_________ Autumn brings on bird feeding time more many local residents Fall bird feeding is an inter esting, transitional time. Mi grating species leave and join us, causing both backyard scenes and food consumption patterns to change. Migrating geese noisily an nounce their departure over head. Swallows first cluster in trees or on telephone lines, then begin their trip to the southern hemisphere. Western Tanagers, Rufous Humming birds and Vaux Swifts leave for warmer environs. The ruckus of House Finch es at thistle and sunflower feeders gives way to the ag gressiveness of Pine Siskins. Evening Grosbeaks timidly re turn for an occasional sun flower seed feast. Millet consumption increas es in the fall as sparrow popu lations return from nesting Suet is an energy- rich food for birds Small birds eat a third of their body weight in food each day, and spend nine-tenths of their waking hours feeding They’re like little wood stoves, crammed full of firewood and blasting out heat all day long. Food passes through a bird’s digestive system in about 15 minutes. Energy not used immediately is converted to fat deposits which fuel the bird through the night. Suet is a key energy-rich bird food, made of rendered beef fat and a variety of “fillers”, like peanuts, blueber ries, almonds, even insects. Suet cakes, are designed to attract backyard birds.
