Where have the small birds gone?

(1/3) > >>

JDRichlen:
Has anybody else in town noticed a decrease in the populations of certain small bird species?  My house is usually a frenzy with birds in the morning.  We still see the goldfinches, house finches, and all the larger bird species in normal numbers, but have not seen a few species in any numbers comparable to previous years.  Specifically nuthatches, juncos, and mountain chickadees.  Has any body else seen any great numbers of these birds around town, or noticed a significant drop off in populations?

We have chickadees in early evening..not in mornings this year...we have 4 feeders of suet
Were up from school.

I can identify birds about as well as I can identify engine parts, but I have to say that we are not seeing the usual amount of birds we used to get. And I am not being awakened by chirping birds in the morning like I have every other summer.

I have a plethora of juncos, chickadees and nuthatches and lesser goldfinches.  Also lots of grosbeaks and towhees and of course,..million of jays!  Tons of them.  The chickadees wake me up in the morning as do the finches.  They are relentless, but adorable

KW:
They must all be outside my window at 4:30 in the morning. Every morning. But that's better than City living and traffic!
