As persistent cold weather blankets the area, local residents in Shepherdstown are finding ways to support backyard birds struggling to find food. Creative feeding solutions are essential for both small and large bird species, including juncos and blue jays, who depend on communal food sources like feeders stocked with seeds, suet, and peanuts. Homeowners in towns like Charles Town and Harpers Ferry are encouraged to provide these feathered friends with nourishing options during this harsh winter. The Shepherdstown Chronicle highlights the need for community involvement in ensuring that birds can thrive despite challenging conditions.
