“We have almost no little birds”.


I know, got a lot of theories, something happening for sure. I hope it’s just a normal cycle. When county wide skeeter control started it damaged the food chain out here, I’d rather swat the skeeters.

We’ve had a bad drought this summer, altho we’ve gotten more rain than the rest of the state. Don’t know if there aren’t any birds because there aren’t any seeds/insects because of the drought. Shrug. Usually we’re inundated, and we were most of the summer, now they’re all gone. Vacationed in the mountains of NC in Aug. No birds. In a week’s time, I think we saw/heard 5. We were right on a big lake and it was down, but still—I would have thought there would have been birds aplenty.
I work in a feed and seed. Everyone is saying the same thing and our bird seed sales are way down.
Not many hummingbirds this year, either. Usually they’re like flies, and we love them. Figured the hurricanes farther south got them.
