Birds You Might See in January
Expect to see Northern Cardinals, White-breasted Nuthatches, Downy Woodpeckers, and Tufted Titmice. These birds are year-round residents and can often be found searching for food on colder days.
Setting Up for Success
Keep feeders full – Natural food is scarce, so consistent feeding helps birds maintain their energy.
Provide shelter – Brush piles, birdhouses, and thick vegetation offer roosting spots.
Document your visitors – Start a birdwatching journal or use apps like Merlin or eBird to track sightings.
