Re: [Maine-birds] Decreased Birds at feeder

Here in Winterport the feeder activity has seemed fairly normal overall.  Some species up, some down.  So far this year, there have been few finches but I would say more Blue Jays and robins.  The robins are not really feeder birds but a flock of several dozen has been coming by the yard quite often.  The really noticeable standout this winter has been the American Tree Sparrows.  There were a whopping 32 at our feeder this morning as the sleet was coming down.  I believe this is a high count for me at a single spot.  And, as is typical, zero Great Gray Owls at the feeder.

Good Birding,

John

In N. Windham/Gorham area and our feeder activity has been very busy. Usual species- cardinals, tufteds, tons of chickadees, mourning doves, white-breasted nuthatches, blue jays, and a good variety of downy and hairy woodpeckers. Occasionally have pileated or red bellied woodpeckers. We are in a pretty wooded, rural spot, so not sure if that makes a difference.

Here in southern ME, North Berwick, feeder activity is the lowest it has been in decades.  Most days only one or two chickadees and titmice.  Never been this low in the 30 years of my year round feeding.  What are other people seeing?
