Invasive starlings are pushing out a lot of the other bird species in many areas. Have you noticed a surplus of them lately?

If not, maybe it’s pythons?

[Star Traveler]

Lots of birds around here. Maybe some cats moved into the neighborhood ... :-) ...

These birds will again be missing after the regular season ends.

Now that you mention it we haven’t seen our usual bunch of crows for a few weeks.

We just moved to southern Georgia from Wisconsin, and my wife’s eyes popped out of her head when she saw robins! So THIS is where they go when they fly south!

There’s been a huge migration reported to Bodega Bay in Northern California. Scientists are not sure why.

How cold has it been?

[mrsmith]

Just talking about the lack of birds to my neighbor in rural SW VA.
We tentatively decided it is the result of a recent influx of cats.

We got ‘em in California (Imperial county) and Arizona. I can’t keep seed in the feeders. It’s gone in hours.

You might find this interesting.

I think they are all in my back yard. We’re filling our feeders three times a day and they still want more.
We’re also having a big mouse problem.....never have had that before. I keep a clean home, but the little devils are still getting in somewhere. We catch one a day in the trap I keep in the cereal shelf. It is so frustrating! Any suggestions?

When I attended a hunter safety instructors academy in the late 80s, we had a wildlife biologist speak to us.

Afterwards, I was talking to him and the subject of feral cats came up. He said they were extremely destructive and he kills every one he sees in the woods.

In Southern California, a different sort of phenomenon is occurring. Flocks of green parrots from the tropics are increasingly being seen.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Butterflies are missing too. Only saw a half dozen good ones in Ohio this Summer. Lawn chemicals I think.

[trisham]

They’re all in our yard, and we no longer feed them, except for the hummingbirds.

We had to stop putting out bird seed because of the bears.

[Flycatcher]

In the last hour, I've seen:

Bewick's wren

2 cactus wrens

Say's phoebe

black-tailed gnatcatcher

common raven

Slim pickings, but it's winter, so, yeah...

Maybe all the illegals are killing them for food until their food stamps kick in!
