Birds, What we are not watching for: Do you still have birds of any kind in your area?

WE NEED A BIRD INTERVIEWER

Maybe Trinity will give out "seed" money ?

no birds here havent been any at my feeders for two days now.

I live about 50 miles west of Philadelphia. We have had zero birds at our backyard feeder for 3 days. In the preceding weeks we had birds feeding all the time. Also, I received a window feeder as a Christmas gift. I hung it over the weekend and filled it with seed, but no birds have come.

Colorado here.. We have a pasture of cows across from our house, we have trees everywhere, we went to another field yesterday to feed some horses, and it occurred to us.. no birds! The ONLY birds we have seen in the area in the last several days was one small flock of about 15 unidentified small greyish birds that flew above us as we went down the road.

Looked out windows to ever side of our house right now and not one single bird in a tree, flying, nada. We are in the part of Colorado that isn't snowy or too cold all winter.. West of Pueblo.

SW Ohio. I've been looking out the window for like 15 minutes and haven't seen one bird. I have a crabapple tree in my back yard that the starlings love...nothing. I called my mom a block away because she has a ton of feeders and has a crazy amount of birds. She said she's seen a few cardinals, wrens and sparrows today, but they usually empty her feeders every day. She hasn't been filling them. She thought it was because she was out of town for 3 days and they got used to not eating, but she's been back for over a week. She talked to my grandma a town away who said she's seen the hugs flocks of starlings going crazy today.

There seems to be two main things going on:

1) Long term reduction in numbers.

But, perhaps more importantly,:

2) Birds vanishing the last THREE days. Unless these were ALL because the bird feeder was left for empty for too long?
If the bird feeders weren't empty for long, then this is a major indiction of an big earthquake within days (which ties in with all the nutty cat and dog stories on the magnet thread).

I just moved back to my area after a 10 year absence and was shocked at the large number of very large birds I see every day. I don't remember ever seeing this many large birds here.

We have hawks out the wazoo - I hear them all the time to the point that it is a racket, we were visited by a bald eagle at Thanksgiving, we have a flock of turkeys at least 30 strong that runs our neighbrhood, and we have often a tree full of roosting buzzards.

So far, no massive bird deaths where I live (Southern NJ) but we had a big fish kill in the Delaware Bay a few months back.

Also, I don't know about blackbirds or other small birds - I notice the big birds because they are so dramatic and almost look out of place in NJ.

Which is the magnet thread? I want to see that.

I've been seeing more crows than usual since the summer. And a TON of hawks!

Better to be overwhelmed by Hawks than to be overwhelmed by mice/rats or even rabbits if you garden. :)
