Today my yard was empty of birds, except for the omnipresent
Steller's Jays, the occasional flicker and hummingbird, and a
solitary Rock Pigeon. I never saw a chickadee or nuthatch or House
Finch come to the sunflower seeds, nor a towhee or Song Sparrow at
the millet, sights that have been frequent during this month. I would
have thought that on a cool, wet day like today they would need these
quick and easy sources of food even more than during the summer, but
the drop-off in activity was shocking.

Has anyone else noticed this today or at other times? Or did I just
have a Sharp-shinned Hawk perched on my roof all day?
