I'm happy to report a lot of traffic at my feeders for the first time this winter. The snow cover vs food accessibility assessment seems to be spot on.
Juncoes, mourning doves, purple finches, a white-throated sparrow (I think), and titmice, and a couple of downy woodpeckers have almost emptied feeders that hadn't been touched in weeks.
