The backyard bird feeder can be a magical place for wildlife watchers. A handful of corn and birdseed on the ground brought this small rabbit from under a snow-covered bush.
A brilliant red cardinal takes flight following a quick visit to a backyard bird feeder for a few seeds. Many species of birds and wildlife enjoy stopping by the feeder, and provide hours of great viewing.
Here comes the flock! Even wild turkeys can be occasional visitors to the backyard bird feeder, especially during a hard winter when snow is deep and natural food is harder to get to.
Is there any creature that represents winter in Wisconsin better than the cheerful chickadee? They are probably the most frequent customers at bird feeders in the area.

SPOONER — For many, the center of activity these past few months became the home bird feeder. There was, and continues to be, a beehive of life and activity fueled by bread, suet cakes, handfuls of corn and birdseed.
Chickadees flit about here and there, traveling from bush to bush, greedily munching on life-sustaining seeds and dried berries. Then they seem almost joyful as they discover that a new suet cake has been hung out for them.
