White Spruce
Planting for Winter Wildlife

In cold climates such as ours, birds and other animals that do not migrate look for food and shelter in the surrounding trees and shrubs. When you think about species to plant in your landscape this spring, consider trees and shrubs that provide food and shelter for winter wildlife.

Choose native evergreen species such as the White Spruce ("Picea glauca"), Arborvitae ("Thuja occidentalis"), or Common Juniper ("Juniperus communis") that provide cover and attract birds such as nuthatches and grouse, among others. They also serve well as windbreaks and screening.

Plant trees and shrubs that keep their berries throughout the winter, providing an important food source for birds and other wildlife. Native shrubs such as Winterberry ("Ilex verticillate"), Black Chokeberry ("Aronia melanocarpa") and American high bush cranberry ("Viburnum trilobum"), as well as trees such as Crabapple ("Malus sp.") and Mountain Ash ("Sorbus americana") keep their berries well into winter. These trees and shrubs attract several species of over-wintering birds including cedar waxwings, American robins (not all migrate), cardinals, and many more as well as other wildlife.



Swans
Tundra Swans at Rogers Lake

Tundra Swans have once again discovered the open water of Rogers Lake, created by the aerating process. If you stop to see the swans:


* Give them plenty of space, Tundra Swans are a protected species under federal and state laws.
* Do not feed Tundra Swans; bread and other food not designed for them can be harmful.
* Remember, there is dangerously thin ice in the area where the aerator is operating; pay attention to posted warning signs.
