some shifting bird patterns this week--after I filled the feeders on Friday, I realized that the regulars had disappeared (except for the purple finches)--and that I hadn't seen or heard the red-winged blackbird for several days. I could hear the crows but they weren't visible and they didn't come for the scraps I put down on Saturday. The platform feeder wasn't touched till late Saturday. Today the crows were visible from about noon on, the goldfinches were everywhere, the year round regulars were back, the phoebes were working hard, and there were warblers moving too quickly to really identify--although a black and white warbler and a yellow-rumped (I think) paused for a while. The two mostly silent days were really startling and the rush today was a surprise too but a pleasant one.
