I have lived on our 20 acres near Bow, an hour or so north of Seattle,
for 28 years now. The land is situated on Bow Hill and consists of a mix of
open pasture and cedar/Doug fir/alder forest with three ponds overlooking
the Samish Flats.

Each year, many Swainsons Thrushes begin calling here during the last week
of April and first week of May. Like many of you, it is one of my favorite
calls that I look forward to each spring.

This year, for the first time ever, I have heard no calls at all and it
alarms, perplexes and saddens me.

So I am hoping this is just an isolated anomaly.

Is this happening elsewhere in Tweeterdom?
