Snow, what about the birds

Wonder what happens to the little ground-feeding birds when the ground is carpeted by over six  inches of snow. Any bare space is prime real estate, I read, and finding food is the key challenge for survival.

We had placed around a dozen suet balls in the bird feeders in mid-January. This morning we saw a couple of robins and tits at the bird table, stopping by for the high energy food and a spot of shelter.

Time to place some more food out there.
