This week's battle of the birds pair is green winged teal vs. blue winged teal. Poll on your favorite bird below!
Do hawks and other birds of prey ever come to your bird feeders? Raptors don't eat seeds, so chances are, they are coming to get birds. If this happens, don't worry: I'ts part of nature. You can still help the birds though. If you plant trees or bushes near your bird feeder (like in the picture below) the birds will have a place to hide when the hawks come. If you can't plant trees, then put a pile of sticks and branches near your feeder.
-Jill Have you ever heard of Edgar Allen Poe's Poem, "The Raven?" If you haven't, in the poem, a Raven says the word "Nevermore." Well, in real life, Ravens and Crows both have the intelligence and vocal abilities to mimic human speech! How cool is that?
