Mondays with Martha #189 - How Wild Birds Survive the Winter

This week I share the special adaptations and behaviors that help wild birds survive the harsh winter months. Knowing about these, we'll focus on how we can best help them during the winter in next week's post. Special thanks to Mike Nelson, Jeanne Henderson, Rita Seston, and Randy Kursinsky for sharing their photos and birdwatching sites, so that I could share the wonders of wild birds with you!
