		February Is National Bird Feeding Month Mid-winter is a tough time for wild birds, since snow often covers their natural food sources of weed seeds and insects. That's why February was chosen as National Bird Feeding Month. About one third of adults in the U.S. currently feed wild birds. If you're not among them, now's a great time to join the fun. Here are a few tips: Hang the feeder in a strategic location where you can easily see it from inside your home. That way, the birds provide free entertainment! Start with a single feeder and fill it with birdseed mix. From there, you can experiment with changing the type of seeds and the location to see which types of birds are attracted. The best foods for birds include sunflower seeds, thistle, nuts, suet, and millet. Do not feed birds bread, since it provides very little nourishment. Birds remind us of tweets, which remind us of our Twitter account. Be sure to follow WIN on Twitter to stay updated on company news.


		These Robots Have Rhythm You'll be amazed at the moves of these Boston Dynamics robots as they dance to "Do You Love Me" by The Contours.		Ducks Say No to Snow Ever stepped outside for a winter walk and immediately changed your mind? That's what happened to these ducks.

Along with spring will come the construction equipment in our Arcadia phone exchange. That's right — FIBER IS COMING! If all goes as planned, we hope to begin installing services in homes this fall and hope to have everyone's fiber services installed before the end of 2021.
