Hi Matt, 

Great question, and thanks for reaching out. Here is a helpful article from the MN DNR with tips about feeding birds in the winter: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/birdfeeding/winter.html 

The "Feeder Layout " section at the bottom includes some great advice - make sure your feeders are near trees (when possible) and in a sheltered location from predators and cold winds. You may consider providing other sources of food nearby, such as large and small seeds (i.e., sunflower seeds and millet mixes) to entice the birds to visit.

I hope this helps!
