20+ Titmice and Chickadees
4 Blue Jays

2 Purple Finch
I Gold Finch ( I had 20+ at the feeders in early January but they
disappeared)
I had 6-8 dark eyed Juncos in early January and only one now in the garden
and not at the feeders
Other regulars also missing since January are Field sparrows and Song
Sparrows, Yellow Bellied Sapsucker and Brown Creeper
I would appreciate any insight to why many of my feeder regulars have left.
The feeders are kept stocked. I have 3 thistle feeders, 4 suet, 1 Mixed
seed, 1 sunflower feeder plus I put out critter feed on the ground for the
ground feeders plus raw peanuts in the shell for the titmice, Blue Jays and
Red bellied Wood Peckers. I due had several hawks about including a
Peregrine Falcon (flies over on its way to and from the Ky river Pallisades),
Sparrow hawks, Coopers, Sharp shinned and Red Tailed hawks.
