		<description><![CDATA[Most of us with bird feeders in our yards have noticed that some of the best birdwatching is during the worst of weather conditions. Just before storms there is frantic attendance to bird feeders. Birds will continuously visit all tube feeders, platform feeders and suet feeders  in order to eat enough to maintain body temperature [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Effect of Weather on Birdwatching", url: "http://www.birdfeedersblog.com/birds/281-effect-of-weather-on-birdwatching/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is, of course, a huge variation among eyes of different species of birds. However, all birds have proportionately very large eyes and acute vision and depend on this sense more than any other. Birds find their food mostly by sight. This is important for us to know when picking a location for a bird [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Bird&#8217;s Vision", url: "http://www.birdfeedersblog.com/birds/279-birds-vision/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Birds, like people and other mammals, are warm-blooded which means they control their own body temperature. Birds produce heat by transforming nutrients and stored fats into energy. Therefore, keeping warm in cold weather is dependent on taking in enough food. During extremely cold periods, birds must eat constantly to produce at least as much heat as [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "How Birds Control Body Temperature", url: "http://www.birdfeedersblog.com/birds/277-how-birds-control-body-temperature/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Of all the bird feeders in our yard, the window bird feeder gives us the most up close and personal view of feeding birds. Especially at times when there is a lot of competition at other feeders, we have frequent visitors to this feeder on our kitchen window.

When we first hung thistle feeders, I could only approach to about 20 feet before all the gold finches were gone.

		<description><![CDATA[There are a few possible reasons why birds sun themselves. First, the exposure to heat and light drives lice from the parts of their body that are difficult to reach and gets them to move to areas where the bird can capture them with their bills. Next, the sun dries and fluffs the feathers which [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Why Birds Sun Themselves", url: "http://www.birdfeedersblog.com/birds/271-why-birds-sun-themselves/" });</script>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many species of birds like to assume a strange position, spreading and fluffing their feathers to expose their plumage to the heat of the sun. Although this sometimes done on cool days, it seems to usually occur when a bird feels a rise in heat intensity. While they are sunning, birds often seem to go [...]<script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Birds Like to Sun Themselves", url: "http://www.birdfeedersblog.com/birds/269-birds-like-to-sun-themselves/" });</script>]]></description>
