Some of it may be normal fluctuation. Hard to tell. I saw a bird inland a bit. I haven’t noticed that one in that area before. Need to get a positive ID.
This has been getting progressively worse for *years*.
I haven’t seen the obligatory Grackle mass invasion in a decade.
For the last few years, my mob of Mulberry trees were barely touched.
Thousands rotted on the ground because no one was there to eat them.
Bizarrely, I have seen more Kildeer this year than in decades, back when every pasture had at least one pair.
Weirder yet, we get flocks of seagulls way out here in the mountains.
Sometimes I wonder if they know something’s coming.
:D
