   In fact I think that is the recipe for

   Of course in winter animals and birds need energy

   Come spring protein becomes important with the nesting

    &#160;&#160;&#160;Shortly after the BFM Hospital in Kentville was close=
d I saw birds feeding on small apples (probably&#160;ornamental Crab being =
former Hospital grounds but relatively large ~ one cm diam.) late in the wi=
nter. The apples&#160;looked quite disgusting but I tried one and found a c=
oncentrated sweet syrup, with no trace of bitterness,&#160;segregated from =
the ice and frozen brown pulp.
   </div>=20
   <div>
    &#160;&#160;&#160; I suspect this syrup is the main attraction, not bec=
ause it is sweet but because of the high energy content.

     here on the South Shore Donna we have an apple

     Seems they like it best on a cold day.

     I hope your cold is better soon.
