I have had coopers hawks, violet green swallows, and a pacific slope
flycatcher all abandon nesting in the last 3 weeks. I am wondering if this
is local or a region wide response to the colder than usual spring? I have
seen fledgling towhees, juncos, winter wrens and song sparrows this week so
the residents who started early seem to be coping.
