Moreover, <a href="https://1851franchise.com/wildbirdsunlimited">Wild Birds Unlimited</a>’s premier line of backyard birding retail is sold by experts on all things feathered and flying—and who are eager to share insight on how to enjoy birds in their natural habitats.&nbsp; One such Wild Birds Unlimited franchisee, Indiana-based Carol Harsh, has no complaints about the crisp season because she’s able to watch her favorite birds, such as the Dark-eyed Junco and <a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Red-breasted_Nuthatch/id?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=wild-birds-unlimited-franchisee-carol-harsh-shares-who-will-be-pecking-at-your-window-this-fall-juncos-and-sparrows-2711781" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Red-breasted Nuthatch</a>, fly from tree to tree in her yard. Since early October, Harsh has had a particular repeating and hungry visitor fly to her feeder every morning.“My Dark-eyed Junco friend has been returning to my backyard for the past two weeks and he always enjoys <a href="https://www.wbu.com/products/bark-butter/bark-butter/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=wild-birds-unlimited-franchisee-carol-harsh-shares-who-will-be-pecking-at-your-window-this-fall-juncos-and-sparrows-2711781" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Wild Birds Unlimited’s Bark Butter</a>, which is a spreadable suet infused with loads of protein to keep the birds nice and toasty during the autumn nights,” said Harsh. Living in the American midwest, Harsh can expect regular visits from these cold-weather callers throughout the winter, as the Dark-eyed Junco “<a href="https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Dark-eyed_Junco?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=wild-birds-unlimited-franchisee-carol-harsh-shares-who-will-be-pecking-at-your-window-this-fall-juncos-and-sparrows-2711781" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">flit[s] about [the] forest floors of the western mountains and Canada, then flood[s] the rest of North America for winter.</a>”&nbsp; While her Dark-eyed Junco friends enjoy a protein-packed spread on the bark of her tree, Harsh can expect to find a sprinkling of Pine Siskins pecking at some fine sunflower chips on her feeder.&nbsp;“Many beginner birdwatchers will get the Pine Siskin confused with sparrows,” Harsh said of the migratory birds known for sunning their tail feathers in the winter morning light across the continental U.S., and in particular, <a href="https://www.audubon.org/field-guide/bird/pine-siskin?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=wild-birds-unlimited-franchisee-carol-harsh-shares-who-will-be-pecking-at-your-window-this-fall-juncos-and-sparrows-2711781" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">the coniferous regions of Canada and Great Lakes region</a>.
