Pamela Hunt, senior biologist for bird conservation with New Hampshire Audubon, said birds feed so heavily in the mornings because they must replace the calories used up during the night. Backyard favorites like woodpeckers, cardinals, chickadees and nuthatches devour mainly tree and plant seeds, shrub berries, and hibernating insects and their eggs and larvae that live under tree bark.
At dusk, they look for a place to sleep that will provide shelter from death-breathing, frigid winds and weather and where nocturnal predators will have the hardest time finding them. Pileated woodpeckers excavate cavities in snags that other birds may use for winter shelter later. Often the trees are dead or dying but still standing.
