I Have A Ton Of Wildbird Seed On The Ground…any Ideas On How To Save It?

I have a bird feed stake that holds 4 birdfeeders. I have been lucky enough to attract a lot of birds to my yard, however, if I fill them in the morning, I can get up the next morning and the birds have eaten through-out the night and have kicked all the birdseed out onto the ground and the feeders are empty. I must have a 3 inch pile of birdseed on the ground. Is there any ideas out there that can tell me how to catch and reuse this birdseed without raking it up and throwing it away?? The s

3 Stars OK
The book is a nice addition to your wild flower library, but definitly not one to take with you for identification purposes.

2 Stars The Incomplete Guide
Perhaps the publisher has changed the subtitle since its initial publication in 1992. My book is subtitled “The Complete Guide to Growing and Identifying Wildflowers.” Unlike their excellent Field Guide to Birds, this book is neither complete nor especially helpful for the identification of eastern wildflowers. There are two excellent chapters on Trilliums and Lady Slippers. Following these is a “gallery” of 87 plants with photographs, Some helpful for identification, some not close enough to be useful, (e.g.Hawkweed). It would be helpful to see the plant’s leaves, yet they are frequently omitted from the photograph,(e.g. Yarrow and Queen Anne’s Lace which are often confused). The growing tips are quite welcome. Most guides omit these. The fact that the authors have chosen their favorite plants and omitted the rest is this book’s severest limitation. I took a drive today and wondered, “What is that gorgeous blue plant dotting the roadside? Could I grow it? What is that pinky splash of daisylike plants? Is that some kind of wild phlox growing by that stream bank?” The Stokes book did not help. I found the answers elsewhere.
