Less variety of birds at my feeders this winter, but still needed to refill them daily...until my new neighbor removed 20 or so mature pine trees in January and February. After that, my bird feeders have needed refilling no more than once a week.

Sitting tonight in the kitchen filling out the on-line form for my 20th week of the 2016-2017 Project FeederWatch season, I was struck by how light feeder activity has been this year. Through the vernal equinox, I tallied only 15 species. Seed consumption was much lower too.

Anecdotally, I have heard from birding colleagues and my purveyors that it has been a light feeding season.

What feeder experiences have other observers had?
