More Info: Songbirds that overwinter in urban spaces can benefit more from human intervention than other groups. Food can be difficult to find in an urban habitat, and small birds need a lot of it to stay warm, so bird feeders are incredibly beneficial. Sunflower seeds, suet and mealworms provide the most nutritional value for chickadees, goldfinches, woodpeckers, sparrows and more.

Black-capped chickadees are the most common winter feeder visitors, but downy woodpeckers are often a close second. Both downies and their larger cousins, hairy woodpeckers, are year-round residents in the winter forests of Alberta.
