I've been hiking local trials for the past week and usually spot 10+ different species, but yesterday (7/9) I went out and only saw 2-3. Forest was unusually quiet, so after an hour or so I headed back home (7-8 mile drive). A few minutes from the house a tornado warning for my area came across the radio and weather turned really ugly. I pulled in my driveway about a minute before a 100 year old walnut tree blew over in my front yard. Luckily, no damage to the house, just a big mess. Could the birds have known beforehand bad weather was coming and hunkered down? I'm new to birding, so maybe some days they just aren't out and about IDK.
