[birdky] Re: Disappearing Act

I'll add a positive note to this discussion. Bird numbers are great in Hart Co. 
They have quit coming to the feeders, as usual for this time of year, but there 
are plenty here and at Mammoth Cave.

  I also will chime in about birds going bye-bye. Then I live in the city 
limits of Lexington, I still have had a pretty diverse group of birds. The ones 
that REALLY caught my attention of not being around are the Goldfinches. During 
the winter, I had ungodly numbers of Goldfinches and bought one of the huge 20 
port Nyjer seed feeders to accommodate them all. Now, I'm lucky to see a pair 
every few weeks. The robins love my bird bath, so they are still around. Blue 
Jays hang out and keep an eye on the yard for peanuts (I go through 25 lbs 
every 2 weeks of in-the-shell peanuts between the Jays and the squirrels). 
Other than that....it's the normal House Finches and Sparrows and Mourning 
Doves.
