Alex – Not to take anything away from your concerns about bird conservation, but some abundance patterns are driven by the weather. I have noticed that after extreme cold, feeder activity drops significantly after the temperatures return to normal. I believe the birds’ nutritional needs are lower vs. when they were battling to survive the cold and feeding frantically. Another possibility is that the extreme cold prompted some birds to move further south. And, sadly, some of the birds just don’t survive the extreme cold. These are just some of my observations and thoughts and by no means the complete answer.

Alex, We are experiencing the same paucity of birds in our Stratford yard as you are. Prior to and during the storm last Friday, and through Christmas, our yard and feeders were loaded with dozens of birds of 20+ species. But since Tuesday, the feeders (and yard) are absolutely devoid of birds much of the day. Not even the throngs of house sparrows, juncos, woodpeckers, etc. This week there has been an occasional small flock of goldfinches, and one downy, a few house sparrows, etc. it really is a stark contrast from the past month or more. I don’t know how to explain it. Did birds perish after the storm when temps dropped 50 degrees to single digits? I’m not finding any dead birds in the hemlock hedge (roost site). It is eerie.

Just to emphasize the point that it’s difficult to draw conclusions from individual observations- I’m having the opposite situation in my yard in Milford than Frank is having in nearby Stratford. I’ve had large numbers and varied species all fall and winter. And I have the same numbers now after the weather event as I did before and during the event. There are large numbers of Gold and House finches. Many WT Sparrows, Juncos, Nuthatches, four species of woodpeckers, many Mourning Doves and too many House Sparrows along with others. I also have two Coopers Hawks that successfully hunt at both front and backyard feeders daily.

Hello all, Not sure if I responded correctly or to everyone as it's my first time using this system. I'm in Eastern CT and the birds have not disappeared here. My husband jokes that we will go poor feeding them this winter. I have several Juncos, Blue jays, Cardinals, Starlings, Mourning doves, Downey woodpeckers, White-throated sparrows, Nuthatches etc.. I also have 3 Red-bellied woodpeckers, 2 Northern flickers, 1 Yellow-bellied sapsucker and 1 Hairy woodpecker. We also have a half dozen Bluebirds hanging around the lower level of our yard. I even spotted a Raven on top of one of the feeders. We also have a Red-shouldered hawk and Red-tailed Hawk that hang around to see what's on the menu.

New Milford also has a dearth of feeder birds compared to previous years. A dozen juncos yes, but only 2 constant white-throated sparrows. Fewer woodpeckers, chickadees, titmice, mourning doves. But there was a brown creeper yesterday to cheer me.
