You can extend this concern to Berea in Madison County. I would never have believed I would have cherries on the tree for so long.

I even had them landing in there with me while I was harvesting on a ladder. ======================== -Michael Mulligan- http://mypages.cityhighflash.com --- On Thu, 6/19/08, Hargis, David (EPPC DNR DOC) <David.Hargis@xxxxxx> wrote: From: Hargis, David (EPPC DNR DOC) <David.Hargis@xxxxxx> 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. DAVID M. HARGIS No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG.
