NH Audubon: Where are all the birds?

New Hampshire Audubon has a long post responding to some people who are alarmed that they’ve seen very few birds at their feeders this year, especially this fall. The post is here.

tl’dr – it’s not avian flu, it’s this year’s weather. Warm and rainy summer means there’s lots of natural food so populations are more dispersed and don’t come to feeders as much.
