same here at my farm in anderson county. very few birds and only 1 or 2
hummers. i can hear lots of wood thrushes and towhees but my normally
active feeders are unattended by the normal flocks of songbirds.
puzzling. maybe now that the cicadas have passed on the birds will come
back.

We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we
see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love
and respect.

I also live in Frankfort, with the same dwindling birds at the feeders and
the cherry tree...until earlier this week, when not only did I notice a few
more birds, but much more Robin activity in the tree. I even had them
landing in there with me while I was harvesting on a ladder.

I live in Frankfort and have had the same problem, I know summer is here and
they are feeding on insects but the population of visitors has hit very low.
I went from filling my feeders every couple of days to once every couple of
weeks. The red-headed woodpecker, the blue jays and the hummingbirds have
completely gone. I have an occasional chickadee or cardinal; the only real
visitors I get are house wrens and house finches.
