As Snow Remains, Some Are Feeding Wild Birds, Jan. 29, 1921

With the snow of Wednesday and Thursday clinging to the ground, birds and other forms of wild life are sorely put to it to gather food to prevent starvation. The heavy snow is still on the ground and is likely to remain there for several days. Birds in town are flying close to houses in search of food and thoughtful persons are throwing small grain and bread crumbs where they can be reached. The birds that are living hardest, however, are the partridges in the country and many of them are likely to starve or freeze unless the weather changes soon. Some farmers are placing feed in some places for them.
