I usually have a plethora of chickadees. This year I have seen very few of them and instead have at least 20 of each of the following larger birds; turkeys evening grosbeaks blue jays mourning doves I also have a steady stream of purple and gold finches, hairy and downys, with some juncos, various sparrows, cardinal pair, nuthatches, and more. All in all I have usually 20 plus different types of birds daily. So where are the chickadees? Only one out there today.
