I noticed that when I was dog walking today between Pennock and Van Dyke Roads off of old city this morning. saw a flock of 7 geese heading south but only a couple of blue jays and nothing else On September 29, 2017, at 9:08 PM, "MMCBushnell ." <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Very few birds on Old City Falls Road at Strafford Vershire line. Hauntingly quiet. Crows and Jays being rowdy in the hills but no chickadees, or migrating species.

There was a noticeable decrease after Irene but I still had healthy numbers. But over the past 2 weeks I have had virtually NO birds....a few woodpeckers are visiting the suet, but not much more. I used to have 20+ mourning doves and even they are gone. I have had sharp-shinned hawks around, but they have always been prevalent. Anyone else experiencing this?...any ideas as to why this may have occurred?
