I moved into a new house in May, and we've gotten tons and tons of birds. It's so exciting coming from an apartment where we barely ever even saw birds!
Here's my question. One day, several species of birds just disappeared. I still have a million birds coming to the different feeders, but all of a sudden the blue jays, woodpeckers, and grackles are just gone. I put peanuts out every day for the blue jays, and one day they just stopped coming. I've had a piece of suet just sitting out, not even in a feeder, and there are no grackles in sight. Nothing at all has changed. They just stopped coming.
I read the post about this being a slower time of year for birds, but that really hasn't been the case. It's just those few birds that are suddenly missing. I seriously haven't even seen a grackle in probably two weeks. That just seems so weird to me. Growing up, we could never get rid of them! Any thoughts on this? I live in southern Wisconsin in the US, if that makes a difference.
Thanks for your help!
