[TN-Bird] Seasons change

There seems to have been a significant change this weekend. The white 
throated sparrows have been absent for three days, the juncos down to a single. 
The 
goldfinch are moulting and few visible, and the chickadees are scarce too. The 
chipping sparrows, having visited in small numbers the last few weeks, have 
taken over the feeders with gusto. The bluebird couple are guarding their box, 
circling vantage points regularly. Everyone else it seems is paired, apart from 
our bold thrasherr who continues to be conspicuous on the ground, on feeders 
and at the suet.No summer birds have been seen or heard yet, but observations 
have been a bit limited due to the heavy colds we are nursing. Off to Oklahoma 
via Missouri for prairie chickens and more on Wednesday. Ralph and Kay
