Nancy, I think it's worth a try especially if you have robins and some of t=
he woodcock flurry around. =C2=A0Someone did post they saw a cow manure pil=
e near the barn that had robins all over it. =C2=A0It's warm inside a compo=
st or manure pile.

 Carmel,
Your scattering seed leads me to tell what I am probably going to do tomorr=
ow.
I'm wondering whether my compost is unfrozen at the bottom and whether ther=
e are some worms or even emergency food like centipedes for the robins.
I could turn the compost out onto a tarp and hope some bird notices.
Any thoughts?
Nancy
