Hi all,
Just as mysteriously as the birds 'disappeared' - they have come back.
Someone suggested "possibly a hawk" and that seems unlikely since they
were not in our backyard for almost 24 hours.

All summer long - and recently - we've had lots of birds at our feeder.

Pretty much all day long with a reduction during the mid-day doldrums.

afternoon. That's a much longer time for the seed feeder to see no

I've been able to count as many as 20+ birds at once on this feeder or

under it or around it.

... any body have any ideas?
