Nope. Not the hoped-for Redpolls !
( altho, there are some redpolls in the general vicinity, seen on both Algerine
& Emmons Roads).
It’s a pair of Mallards who started out under the street-side feeder & ground
food areas the last 2 days. I saw them, as well as their footprints in several
places
Yesterday there were dozens of birds at my feeders. So many that I had to
refill the seed cake feeders.
Today I have not seen any birds at all.
Very strange , any one have any ideas?

After a couple of weeks of nonstop action out at my feeders (I'm in Geneva)
it's been more than a week without a single bird. The high activity of
mostly sparrows, chickadees and a couple woodpeckers and nuthatches at my
feeders corresponded with flocks of robins and starlings that took over my

Today it's much milder.

I live up on Sheffield Road, Ithaca/Enfield town line. I used to see many,
probably hundreds, crows commuting up here every morning not long after it got
light. They’d come from the southeast, City of Ithaca (I actually followed and
backtracked them a couple of times), heading northwest. As they
~5PM I came across the Gyrfalcon that had a Mallard on a field South of Seneca
Iron Works. The Mallard was still moving when I arrived but I didn't see the
catch. The Gyrfalcon had to fend off two hawks but managed to keep its prey.
Between hawks and despite traffic it fed steadily and eventually
I agree with Marie and add that sometimes they find something better-
less wind exposure or richer food.My hummingbirds disappear for about 8
to 10 days each summer and I figure there is a temporary food source they
prefer. The squirrels disappeared from the feeders here for about 5 days,
