Here then, gone now seems to be the theme of today's set from me. Not extinct, mind you. Just no longer finding what they were looking for where I saw them in September. For instance:
Once in a while, Marsh Tits will visit the feeders in my yard. Early this Fall it seemed one or two might be regular visitors, but now I haven't seen any for weeks. Don't know why not. Perhaps they simply found other, more reliable food sources once when I let the feeders stand empty for a few hours ...? Which reminds me: I'll have to get up early tomorrow and fill the feeders before we take off for the day at a friend's cabin.
