Jim, We've had the same experience. We had one junco very early but haven't
seen any since. Our veggie garden near the lake has lots of white throats but
none have come to the house feeders.

Subject: [va-richmond-general] Lack of Birds
I have found at times since late August that there have been few birds in our
yard. The birds seem to be picking up some, including cardinals, titmice,
chickadees, a downy woodpecker, a thrasher, and especially some mourning doves.
I have not seen any northern juncos yet (also called snowbirds and
slate-colored juncos). They usually visit our place from November to sometime
in March or April. Has anyone seen them?
