Is there a Minnesota timeline for starting and stopping bird feeding?  All year?

We suggest feeding birds all year long, so you not only can enjoy the ever-changing flock, but to supplement their diet when food may be scarce. In winter you are providing the much-needed calories for warmth and survival and in return you get a close-up view of the flock. Spring is the most important time to feed; there is migration, nesting and raising of the young during a time when seeds and insects are scarce. Summer is a great time when you can view birds that may otherwise be feeding in hidden spots. Fall, again, is a very important feeding time as many varieties of birds start to migrate and others settle in for the long winter.
