Fewer birds than usual here in Lebanon, though yesterday brought a fairly
large flock of juncos. I've had titmice, cardinals, finches, and a downy
woodpecker at my feeder. Haven't seen a bluejay in a long time and the
cardinals only show up occasionally whereas last year they were around all
day.  Could the presence of bald eagles be scaring small birds away?
