No RB or WB nuthatches or Titmice. Only 3-4 Mourning Doves vs 14-16 last year. Very low numbers overall (except for Juncos) than the past 25 years! A few Downey and Hairy WPs. One lone Starling yesterday along with two House Finches.Kit HoodSharonSame here....miss them! We have about 30 goldfinches, 25 Juncos, Downy and Hairy WP, 1 Titmouse 3 Jays, 1-2 white-breasted nuthatches....and maybe 2-3 chickadees. sniff.Cynthia Crawford
