I don't remember where I read it, but winter time is when you are supposed to put out feeders because that is the time when birds have the hardest time finding food. Of course what I read was regarding regular bird feeders - not hummingbird feeders. I put my hummingbird feeder away just for fear that it would freeze and crack.

Cool Pic!
