All your birds must be in Hart County :) Numbers are very strong here and in 
Mammoth Cave.  They may not be coming to feeders and ornamentals as much, 
because there is an abundance of wild food this year. After last year's 
drought, every tree and bush is loaded with seeds.

  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 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.
