Answer by Bill
Mostly invertebrates (bugs, worms, etc) not available during winter. Proteins those foodstuffs contain are needed by your juncos for instance, to rebuild muscle mass after having overwintered with me, down here in Missouri. Females also need the protein additionally, to nurture the reproductive process.
