My feeder birds do occasionally all seem to disappear for a few days.
Maybe not all, but it sure seems like it.
I have not made any definite connection with storms except that
sometimes it seems they disappear for a day or two before the storm.
Yesterday, I only had a brief time to check out the feeders:
a jumble of JUNCOS (15-20)
a chuckle of CHICKADEES, BC (6)
and 4 immature GOLDEN CROWNED SPARROWS.
What was significant was NO, NULL, NONE house sparrows or starlings!
