Bird Watching: Why have birds abandoned my feeder?, 1 by Lily_love

Hi peony8 and everyone. I haven't seen very many birds at the grains feeder this time of year either. I've hung up a suet feeder along with some thistles, only saw some Northern Cardinal every so often. I heard the Redheaded WP still pecking & calling in our garden. Blue birds are seen abundant all around the area, Carolina Wrens, Mockingbirds, Brown Thrashers, a Goldfinch, but the House Finches aren't seen around lately -- they too prefer berries this time of year?

Ah, some of the birds are migrating? But I can tell you Squirrels and chipmunks took permanent residents here. lol.

I can imagine you miss your birds, but soon they will return. Please don't ask me when, 'cause I'm new at this kinda thing. lol. Ha about your Redbelly Woodpecker feeding her Toddler-size baby. Poor mama bird! She has gotta be exhausted!!!

I have to look up Chokeberries. We've a Carolina Cherries (?) and many berries outdoor for the birds this time of year here.
